I think this message of yours was rude, inflammatory and
condescending. It's technically misinformed. It misses the entire
point of this discussion.
It moves the argument to a space where it can only die, or burst in an
unproductive flame that will have no positive outcome other than
making people more frustrated and less willing to engage in a serious
conversation on this list in the future.
Communication and collaboration can be hard, and I think we can only
succeed if we carefully weight what we're saying and respectfully
consider the nature of people involved in a given discussion.
I personally believe project leaders especially should realize this,
and I am often saddened to observe that this is not the case in
Fedora.
Cosimo,
I completely disagree - This is a fedora desktop list - I recommended a
simple and technical solution to our disagreement. There was nothing
inflammatory about it whatsoever. I recommended using another,
available, program that steps around the issue and is immediately
available to fedora.
If this were a gnome mailing list I would agree that it would be
inappropriate but this is not a gnome mailing list - this is the fedora
desktop list.
If you could address the technical issues of my suggestion, I'd be
happy to hear.
