Re: akademy2008 logo sucks.

And I think this is the key point here:
KDE is not an organization, neither is it a product.
Everything in here is the work of individuals, people who feel enthusiastic about KDE and do what they can and like to.
For example, it's easy to say "The Oxygen style is utter crap" (which is of course not true and just for demonstration - similar complaints happen with other parts of KDE, though). In fact, this is exactly the same as "Casper Boemann, your work is utter crap". Now, would you say that? No you wouldn't, but nobody has problems with stating something like the former.
So, this isn't about KDE marketing materials, or about a feature that appears when you move the mouse to the upper right of the screen. Hardly anything in KDE is done by more than three people. You don't criticize an anonymous entity, but one or two people who worked hard to get something done. This is about people, and each time you say "I hate this stuff" without even trying to improve it, you insult a real person.
Think about it.
P.S.: This is not specific to the parent poster (the one above my own reply, that is). |
