No. That's criticism. Criticism is cool. I disagree with you, but you're totally entitled to your opinion. :) (SUSE hired me knowing full well who I am and what I do. They've never censored me. That's one of the great things about, not just SUSE, but many in the FOSS world.) Ad hominem and person attacks? Not great. Those sorts of attacks should be dealt with swiftly and publicly in order to keep bad backlash from occurring. -Bryan On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 11:07 AM, Boudewijn Rempt <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, 11 Feb 2016, Bryan Lunduke wrote: > >> Let me start by saying that I am a *huge* fan of KDE.
