I haven't disregarded anything you/Scott said. I specifically
mentioned in that thread that "developers say such-and-such". Didn't
you notice that? I suppose I have the freedom to disagree with your
opinion and try to elicit community opinion. That is what I did.
Yes, I noticed you reported what we said. However, you also said that
was we "just disagreed with yout point without providing any
policy-based/logical reason". That pretty much dismisses the value of
what we said, classifying it as illogic and based on personal whims.
I voiced my
opinion as a user, didn't get overmuch support for it from other
users, and gave in to the developers' opinion then. I suppose that's
a
good democratic process.
Going to users for opinion and presenting ours as "they said this,
but it's based on nothing" is not exactly... a fair point of view.
I understand you might have wanted (implicitly or explicitly) to get
the user base to stand on your side, although I'd not call it as
"good democratic process".
Please don't be sarcastic when someone is just trying to improve the
Debian packaging or documentation by submitting/voicing their opinion
or trying to mobilize community opinion. Lisandro was nice enough to
say "Even if we might disagree is good to have feedback from our
users." I suppose you can be polite like that too.
Note that I won't continue further in this, since I wanted to point out
how your wording toward our opinion has not been exactly constructive.
Sure, I overreacted with sarcasm, which you can understand a bit since
reading the last past of your email on debian-user@ has not been
exactly a good morning read.
