I am fine with
both versions. I think the second one misses the
point that TDE is a DE which puts productivity before fancy-
useless-bothering visual effects, which I think is the main reason
why people use TDE. Perhaps the following version is a little
better:
I understand your feelings. :)
A goal of a press release is to offer a positive spin and focus on
the announced product rather than what other products lack. We want
to refrain from KDE bashing. If you browse the dev mail list
archives from a while ago, you'll discover that a couple of KDE
devs invited themselves into our mail list and started a nasty
spitting contest. Got rather heated. Nobody won and one of the KDE
devs took to his blog to continue bashing Trinity. He stopped that
public campaign when a lot of people posted comments to his blog
entry to leave us the hell alone, that the free/libre software
philosophy allows and embraces forking. He was reminded that we
were not harming anybody. After those public rebuttals he stayed
away, but I have not forgotten him or his tirades.
I'm not afraid of bashing KDE4, especially the piece of shit known
as akonadi,
And here we see, why I wrote in my blog post you refer to that
"It’s pure
hatred against KDE technologies and this dominates the development of
Trinity." - I think your comment here speaks for yourself.
If you think KDE is shit, write it. Don't go the way of trying to avoid any
bitching against KDE. It's not true and your archives are public. Everybody
can read it and what you really mean.
Nevertheless, no hard feelings from my side. I wish you all success for your
release and (although already a little bit late) a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
