That is an attack on code, not people. It has no resemblance to Shuttleworth's remarks.

  > "They should just use the system titlebars and not do their own stupid things." This is a personal insult.

    I know people are prone to take such remarks personally, but it's directed at the action, not the person. "You did something stupid" is not "You are stupid".

    The word "They" refers to Chromium. Saying that a program and its behavior is stupid, is not a personal insult. For example, I think my gnome3 fallback menu bar is stupid for crashing when loading its icons for a particular sub menu (running unstable). I do not however think that gnome3 developers are stupid.

      He's criticizing a design decision, an inetention, not a bug.

      Have you reported the bug upstream? I'm a GNOME developer and I haven't heard of this crash.
      • belorn 13y ago
        No I have not. On Debian Unstable, I always give the bugs a few months to sort themselves out. Could be a problem in the packages recent dependencies, graphic driver regression, or who knows. I also want to do some preliminary debugging of the issue before sending in a bug report.

    It's inflammatory, sure. But it's not a personal insult, the "they" is collective.
