Kept from your previous post: "So does dismising everything new as broken because it fixes things you don't care about." And this is exactly what I perceive as highly insulting: I don't dismiss "everything new as broken...". It's a classical anti-pattern in this discussion: "You're just resistant to change" =~ "you have actually no sensible argument". That seems subtle, but it is pretty condescendent. That's not better than... > But some people don't just say "meh", > they get angry. They insult the software, they insult the > developers [...] And I find that unacceptable too. Especially insulting people. I'm on record for coming forward and speaking up against that, too. I'd hope we could just get along and respect each other. Cheers -- tomás
