Joe, so you silenced him in public - bad style - let me reply the same.
I didn't "silence" anyone, I made a request that we not refer to other
folks' work as "horrible." In the future, I'll consider taking that
offline, though, so point taken.
He is right - and you have not even tried to understand him -just to
be
the first to play your manager-role. I have no idea about screen-design
etc. but looking at the banner - the whole banner is resizing with the
ratio of your screen - indeed horrible.
I'm not seeing the issue he's referring to, it's not happening (or not
visible) to me on my system.
With all due respect - maybe i am wrong - i only heared about you
from
your former different FOSS-*Jobs* and from a post where you applauded
the Fedora Board to not include a Security-Tool into Fedora, but i am
almost certain you have not contributed this much artwork to the Fedora
Project as Sirko did. Sirko is a fellow contributor with a lot
enthusiasm and is respected for his excellent skills and work - and if
*horrible* is an offensive word ... come on, you had to silence or fire
a lot people - e.g. read bug-reports to learn some more.
No, I haven't contributed a lot of artwork to Fedora - and, most likely,
it would be "horrible" if I tried. I'll stick to writing, organizing,
and other things I'm actually decent at.
And I'm well-aware that worse language is used in bug reports, and
elsewhere - but that doesn't mean it's actually OK, just that it doesn't
get called out often enough. I think it's entirely possible to point out
something in error without saying it's "horrible."
Example: "Hey, the banner on Fedora Magazine doesn't look quite right on
my system. It's showing up resized wrong. Can someone fix this?"
Cheers,
