As long as he got some relief, I am happy that he wrote it. In any case: the fact that people may expect answers does not imply he is rude not giving them.

- Sujan 13y agoI even think it is important, he wrote it. Not only as a release valve, but because a) we are talking about it and b) it can be part of educating the 'masses' on why some things are the way they are (or should be).
- pfortuny 13y agoAnything which helps people learn something necessary is welcome. I cannot but support it. What I intended to say is: sometimes abstraction helps explaining things. I just tried to abstract what led him to say so many things. The problem with rants is that people usually do not realize they are the object of it. As someone told me time ago, if you want to say something to someone who is misbehaving, do not use a public medium: everybody else will get the message but he won't.
- Sujan 13y agoValid. The rant format definitely tends to cause its own problems. I think it's all our job now to take (parts of) his points and apply them to support and help pages of projects. That's probably most effective way to trigger change in general behaviour.
