With regards to me filing a bug report for you I am
willing to do that for
you.First there must be an understanding between us, if I do post a bug
report you must, and I do mean must, follow through with it. You are the
person having difficulty not me so if I spend my time helping you and you
do not help me to help you then it will just be a complete waste of my
time. If you are willing to help with a bug report send me an email with
all the relevant information.
You are not filing a bug report for me. You are filing it for you. You are
the one who is going on about bug reports being filed to help the developers.
I am not using Mint/MATE, and have no intention of doing so just because it
is so dear to your heart.
With regards this being ad hominem I feel that is a
cop out. You bagged an
inanimate thing saying it was "awful" yet you are now suggesting my replies
are ad hominem. I'm not attacking you
You could have fooled me!!!
I am pointing out that so far you
have bagged something that cannot do anything for itself and you have not
done anything to help it.
Why should I? I have no duty to help MATE just because I dislike it. Rather
the opposite I would have thought. There are loads of projects out there.
You seem to be saying that I have a duty to help every one.
You also forget we both have visual impairments
and that is one of the reasons I am willing to help you to help something
that is incapable of helping itself but requires users to let the
developers know what the problems are so they can do something about it.
I'm quite happy just not to use it. You apparently are not. It is up to the
developers whether they want to do something about it. They show no sign of
doing so.
I wish that people wouldn't try to "help" me by trying to force me to use
something I don't want to use.
This is just getting silly. I owe MATE nothing. I wish that I had never gone
anywhere near it. I should have looked at Cinnamon if I wanted to look at
either.
The silliest thing of all is that I strongly suspect that most of what I
dislike is in fact due to Mint.
