There would be more involved than just the download, and even that alone
can be an issue for naive users. Have you ever been involved with and
user testing, or just observed casual computer users?
One person's lack of manners is another person's attitude, I guess.
Assuming that
your users would have trouble dealing with source code is
very different from assuming they are dumb.
No, it is always condescending. Anybody can go to SF and download. It
is not brain surgery. Maybe it's
true, but you do sound very arrogant and pushy to me ;)
Too bad. I have an attitude because I am not going to let people push
me around and insult me for being right. If you cannot comprehend
that from all the posts then perhaps you should keep your ideas to
yourself. You haven't had to deal with this person. Where do all these people come from that assume style
equals substance?
What you are really perceiving is backbone. Maybe you are not familiar
with that.
I don't know where those people would come from. I didn't say there's a
lack of substance. Aggression tends to cloud rationality and hinders
amicable solutions.
I see 100% chance that you do not know what you are
talking about because
you are not closely involved. You should check all the posts more carefully.
Don't worry you will not be the first person who does not see this clearly.
You must be the one single person who knows what is going on and what is
right and wrong in this case. What's this thread for? I mean, you have
your fork, right? You already judged the other side. You don't take or
need any input, it seems. You clearly stated your position. Anything
left?
