As a former donor to KDE I love nothing more than being called mere rabble.

Comment by Tom: It’s frustrating how you totally discount the desires of KDE users. Are you just developing KDE for yourself? Or do you think users don’t care how you develop it?
Response by Nate: For the benefit of education, this is an example of a comment that’s not treating the topic with an adult level of maturity.
I’m keeping it here for illustrative purposes, but all additional ones will be removed.
Reminder to behave like kind adults. 💙

So that’s a “yes”

Also, are the very powerful and sophisticated tools in the room with us now?

    How the fuck is that not a mature question? What a childish way to police your own comment section. Have all pro llm people lost their minds?

    I think this perplexes us because we’re tying ourselves in knots trying to rephrase it that it might be deemed more ‘mature’. But that is missing the point: bringing up the concerns of the users at all is just a fundamentally immature remark.

    We, the developers, are the adults in the room, and we want to slop it. So fuck off.

    See this is a proper mature remark, it explains reasoning clearly, it shows empathy for the first comment both understanding it, and explaining where it was wrong. And ends with some powerful mature words.

    I think he realized it too and sockpuppeted a better example. Check the comment by "Gerard"

    Wtf.

    E: So my german is bad, like bad bad, but I feel like it should be 'dir' and not 'dich' in this case for some reason. Is it just me? Anyway saying that all in German is pretty weird anyway. (In addition to death threats not being ok).

    Je, wrong gramnar and the german feels totally off. Much too wooden amyway for a proper death threat.

    Well now I’m very confused. As far as I can tell, there’s nothing particularly special about ‘töten’, and its object is accusative. So why should it be dative in this… uh, case?

    Time to tell Yud his german sucks, and to stop threatening KDE people.

    (Im making a joke out of it here, but to be clear I have no reason to think he made up the death threat, and I dont think those sort of messages are acceptable. The seemingly bad German can just be explained away by gerard thinking because kde is a project with a lot of ties to Germany everyone who is active in it understands German).

    I mean, if I wanted to be childish I'd say that Nate's ok chasing all the users off because he's used to playing with himself.

    It's obvious, by comparison, that the OP was being perfectly reasonable.
