I don’t think you realize that you have your entire emotional perception of this situation flipped.

This was a simple comment on why I strongly disagreed with VT’s request for a 5th Release. I explained myself. I did not get emotional, nor am I emotional now. What I did receive is a lot of strange emotional responses for which I have neither time nor interest. And frankly, neither should anyone here.

Who cares if I like 9front? I’m not against it, nor the developers. I’m simply against *joining* 9front with 9legacy/etc as a formal release. I personally believe that’s a bad move.

Don’t agree? Ok, so what? I’m one dude. And yet the gaggle of you people have tried to drag me down some psychoanalytical rabbit hole, and waste my entire day. And because I won’t let you drag me into it, and because I respond with short unemotional statements, you somehow think *I’m* the bad guy because I won’t devolve into your world.

Geez guys seriously… go touch grass and have a life. Know what I did today instead of engaging with your bullshit? I did my job. I played with my son. I cooked us an amazing dinner. We built a fort. We looked at deer outside. We listened to music.

All that because I didn’t waste my time with long bullshit responses that wouldn’t satisfy you, anyway, because I disagree with 9front being merged. Who cares?

Live your life, man.

It’s telling, as you say, that your take is to get defensive and, honestly, shitty. Emotional maturity may be lacking in general on the list but please do not posture from some imagined moral high ground. It’s so tiring, just do better.

I do not want 9front merged with what I tongue-in-cheek term “mainline” (9legacy / 9pio updated patch sets). I’d rather 9front stay its own thing. I’m certain there are a lot of relevant contributions within 9front but I think its place is as its own niche system.
