I didn't "silence" anyone, I made a request that we not refer to other folks' work as "horrible." In the future, I'll consider taking that offline, though, so point taken. > He is right - and you have not even tried to understand him -just to be > the first to play your manager-role.

I'm not seeing the issue he's referring to, it's not happening (or not visible) to me on my system. > With all due respect - maybe i am wrong - i only heared about you from > your former different FOSS-*Jobs* and from a post where you applauded > the Fedora Board to not include a Security-Tool into Fedora, but i am > almost certain you have not contributed this much artwork to the Fedora > Project as Sirko did.

No, I haven't contributed a lot of artwork to Fedora - and, most likely, it would be "horrible" if I tried. I'll stick to writing, organizing, and other things I'm actually decent at. And I'm well-aware that worse language is used in bug reports, and elsewhere - but that doesn't mean it's actually OK, just that it doesn't get called out often enough. I think it's entirely possible to point out something in error without saying it's "horrible." Example: "Hey, the banner on Fedora Magazine doesn't look quite right on my system. It's showing up resized wrong. Can someone fix this?"
