A successful project has followers and users. Users, who look up to the project leader.simargl wrote:And anikin, what do you consider as successful Puppy projects, and why?
As a user, I don't have to make a choice between simargl and some other devs, whom simargl has publicly insulted. I don't need to have a guilty feeling: "If I post in his thread, what will the insulted guys think of me? I've been using their work and help, so am I staying with them?" I see no other explanation for the fact, that users stopped posting in your thread. There has never been this kind of divisiveness on this forum before. That is why I mentioned damage control, talk about technical details and subtleties is totally irrelevant to the situation.
