Backlash? Where?
Are we now considering the above mentioned blog as a representative of
the whole Ubuntu community?
Some of the comments there are often highly disrespectful to upstream
GNOME authors and I have personally seen upstream authors take offense
to the comments on that blog. [at times to the articles too] And had to
say that those are not the views of the whole Ubuntu community.
What worries me is that, if we consider those blog comments to be a
representative of the whole Ubuntu community, then Upstream is justified
at being offended.
There is constructive criticism and there is just criticism/cynicism.
Anonymity does not give a person the instant right to be rude.
While it is easy for someone to make a passing comment about upstreams,
it becomes a waste of time for people who have to interact with
upstreams.
We could all be more productive if people spent half that time, they
spend commenting, on something more useful.
