Unless it's a case of deliberate trolling, members have every right to express their thoughts on the subject, even if they support a complete dissolution of the maemo community. Keep in mind support != power... even for longtime members. Someone can advocate an end all they like-- that doesn't mean they have the power to bring it about.

Every person has a right to their emotions, and no one has the right to declare those emotions are inappropriate. That's only true of actions.

This thread is about discussion, and no action mentioned by anyone is binding.

It saddens me to see longtime members essentially at each others' throats. Maybe that's hyperbolic, but that's how I perceive some communications. I would like to see the heightened rhetoric ramped down. Separate issues from personalities. Enough blamestorming.

Thanks.

EDIT: this is a general rant and not linked to immediately preceding posts.
Texrat, there are always opinions. The way I see it this pointless struggle is several months long already. I think both sides should accept that other side is entitled to different opinions and choices, and should abstain from causing the harm to the other side.

My positions was clearly stated in this topic (and what I think about meego), but I do not wish to impose on those willing to support meego. Every member of community can choose which path to follow. That is certainly not binding in any way.

Very rarely there are honourable people able to appreciate both views and perhaps contribute to the cause of both sides.

Having a distro that is handled and supported by big corporations is good as long as there are open community distributions as an alternative choices. That provides us with redundant solutions for the future. Each path has its own dangers. Having a single path is the riskiest scenario.
