Trying to shaming critics into silence might suppress their criticism, but it won't make them like you.


I'm not trying to shame anyone into silence. I'm not trying to shame anyone. However, I would like to see people complain less and act more. Being on the other side of open source software is eye-opening. It can be very disheartening to get mostly negative feedback for something done out of passion (even if you might make a bit of money for it).


It's good to hear you aren't trying to shame anybody. Incidentally, what is the word for people who complain about free things?


Well there, I was being a bit prickly... It's not a nice word, I'll leave it to everyone's imagination.
