Software engineers are often touted as people whose logic is excellent. That's why I'm amazed when some of these so-called virtuosos always indulge in personal attacks when they spot something with which they disagree.

He's the crass one.

This is like a bunch of 4 year olds in a playground.

First of all, the original was looking for a spin. Quite clearly. Taken from the original article:

But then since he can't piss off the GNOME people altogether (the interview was done at the GNOME Users and Developers European Conference), he added: "The flipside (sic) to that is that this predictability and also the choice of the LGPL has made GNOME very good for business."

Does he then favour a switch away from GTK to QT? No, he merely thinks "it would be perfectly possible to deliver the values of GNOME on top of QT."

I'm not too sure about values when it comes to GNOME - unless it's the push to wholesale, crass commercialism. But then that's my view.

and earlier in the same article:

Given the amount of flak that the recent KDE release - 4.0 - has taken from the pro-GNOME pundits at sites like linux.com, you would think that the worst possible thing any supporter of GNOME - as Shuttleworth is perceived to be - could do is to speak out in support of anything associated with KDE.

I'm sorry, but he quite clearly deserved those remarks. To make such statements like those then claim innocence in being attacked is bs, not the guest commenters. Grow up.
