Well, you can of course overreact, or you can see the suggestions as well meaning feedback. fk_lx may be on his spree, but others are not. Stop seeing feedback as the enemy, think about it instead. That's all I ask. If after honest thinking you deem it unfitting, then that's that.

I do understand that, though. None of what I've suggested, for example, in increased transparency contradicts that. Indeed, I believe added transparency within the early adopter/enthusiast sphere would be positive for Jolla's business, whereas current type of silence is detrimental to their business.

Ah, yes, the age-old "if you don't like it, leave" argument.

And the final stinger about paid trolls. When you are all out of arguments.

In general, I think listening to apologists sounds, to me, a worse idea than listening to critical voices. Of course, all voices, including critical voices, should be listened to critically.
