Re: KDE Neon and how to handle this?

Thomas,

That article was bylined "Bryan is a writer and works as the Social
Media Marketing Manager of SUSE."

_Therefore_, that article is the opinion of SUSE. The title of that
article was "KDE's recently announced Linux distro, KDE Neon, seems like
a questionable move that has the potential for disaster."

That's a pretty rude and click-baity statement, right?

And now you're calling me out for being _rude_ for telling this official
SUSE guy that his project has managed to dropped the ball completely
over the past couple of years? It has, you know -- it hasn't been able
to decide what horse to back, and now, when some people take Linux
back to where it belongs, namely the people doing the work instead of
the companies raking in the money, this official SUSE Social Marketing
Manager is pissed because people inside KDE, KDE community members,
make their own distribution? Something _he_, if he can muster the energy,
can do too? With the same "official" blessing?

And, _heck_, tell me: where was I rude, combative or inaccurate? Having
been a SuSE user since 1996, I think I was all too accurate, actually.
