Anyway, it is not for me to judge if you feel bullied. And as I hopefully made clear, the "manners" comment was surely not just for you. It's just an attempt to keep the discussion on KDE instead of a flame war or something similarly unpleasant. > > He is doing that, but in addition he is bullying people most unpleasantly if > they do not do his bidding. I do not use KDE 4 and have no wish to do so.

What more could I do, other > than be very rude myself, to make him go away? Well, some of your reasons weren't valid. There were several "this doesn't work"-claims which just work, at least on my testing install. Which does not mean that there are no reasons why kde4 is good for you. The problem I had with some of the comments were that they were unfair. That something doesn't do as it did somewhere else is not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, let's close this discussion here. I surely agree that KDE4 has is strengths and weaknesses, and based on your daily routine and preferences this can be a problem. As with any other DE. I don't like gnome, which doesn't mean that gnome is bad. It's just bad for me. Sjoerd
