That may be your opinion, or perhaps the community council's opinion, but that still does not make it gospel. I have received both criticism and praise for my comments about the website changes on the tor-users mailing list. As far as I can determine based on email I received, how satire is perceived is mostly divided along cultural/national lines. I think that the notion of "if you don't have anything positive to say don't say anything at all" is counterproductive. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck, and I don't care one iota how much time and effort somebody spent trying to create a swan, and failed at it. Nobody has to share my opinion (however, there was more agreement than criticism), but I'll not sacrifice that honest opinion for political correctness. I determine what is appropriate for me, and at my age I have damn well earned that right. -Ralph -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
