I'm not sure what you found insulting, i was commenting on Wayland itself and the companies that push it. The closest i could think of is the "blame for its state" bit but that was obviously said jokingly as tongue-in-cheek (even with the ":-P" smiley).
Do you see disliking Wayland, disliking the forces that push it and not seeing a point at it existing as insults to yourself?
> treat the FOSS graphics communities with more respect in the future
A "community" isn't a person to be treated with anything, if i'm to treat someone with respect it will be a person, not something vague like a community.
Also disliking a piece of work doesn't mean that i disrespect (or respect) the person who worked on it. I honestly do not know you so i have no reason to disrespect (or respect) nor insult you (something that from my perspective i didn't do). I do know about Wayland and i have many reasons to dislike it, but that dislike doesn't extend to a general dislike or disrespect of you. It is Wayland i dislike, not you.

Sure, but there are also a lot of people who can simply be wrong despite their experience, for a variety of reasons. Appeals to authority aren't to be taken at face value. Also in my post above i'm not judging the people who created the work, i'm judging the work and (also) how it i feel is enforced on me despite my will.
Some people might get too attached to their work and feel any attack towards it is an insult to themselves, but to me that does not sound like a reason to not criticize that work - or any work - especially when that works is affecting me.
Also i think that if you feel insulted by people criticizing your work you may not have a good time working as a games developer :-P.
