i'm not sure his "rub developers noses in shit" comment was lost in translation 😉
that's a step beyond a rant imo
one thing i regularly do (not just here), like you just did, is write a post in anger, and then throw it away instead of posting, allowing the intial anger to subside and a more balanced/considered opinion to form...
i do think that the temperature here is better than the old forum, maybe because lots of folks moved on, but certainly a lot less defensiveness from the regulars - what's become of John? he was my favourite
