I think this message of yours was rude, inflammatory and condescending. It's technically misinformed. It misses the entire point of this discussion. It moves the argument to a space where it can only die, or burst in an unproductive flame that will have no positive outcome other than making people more frustrated and less willing to engage in a serious conversation on this list in the future.
Communication and collaboration can be hard, and I think we can only succeed if we carefully weight what we're saying and respectfully consider the nature of people involved in a given discussion. I personally believe project leaders especially should realize this, and I am often saddened to observe that this is not the case in Fedora.
Cosimo,
I completely disagree - This is a fedora desktop list - I recommended a simple and technical solution to our disagreement. There was nothing inflammatory about it whatsoever. I recommended using another, available, program that steps around the issue and is immediately available to fedora.
If this were a gnome mailing list I would agree that it would be inappropriate but this is not a gnome mailing list - this is the fedora desktop list.
If you could address the technical issues of my suggestion, I'd be happy to hear.
