--- Comment #10 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- For you. I wanted you to recognize that your approach was counterproductive, because it ended up de-motivating a person who wanted to do the work that you asked for. In the context of this bug, I'm a volunteer; you are not my boss, we have no work contract, etc. If you were my boss, me saying, "now I don't wanna work on it because you were rude" would not make sense and I would be childish and irrational for saying that, but in the context of me being a volunteer, it makes total sense: in my volunteer KDE time, I want to work on things that are fun for me, in addition to helping other people. But there are a lot of other bugs out there that don't contain insults and rudeness, and there are a lot of other people out there who I could help by fixing bugs for, who I might expect would return some appreciation for it, rather than sourness and rudeness that the problem existed in the first place. So, when I volunteer for KDE, if I also want to get something out of it myself by having an enjoyable time, why wouldn't I skip over this bug and work on a different one? Like I said, I probably will work on this issue at some point, because I like fixing bugs, and I like helping people, and I recognize that it's a real issue. But I wanted to make you aware of the fact that by reporting this issue, you became its ambassador to KDE, and the way you presented both it and yourself affected the likelihood of if getting completed. So I urge you to try to present the issues you report more professionally in the future to increase that likelihood. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
