Voicing dislike with brutal honesty is far more effective. And it's the truth. Why should the truth be watered down? Just to make a few sensitive people feel better? That's not reality. As far as I'm concerned, that is fraud.

> Voicing dislike with brutal honesty is far more effective

then your way of voicing it is not brutal honesty, because you are most definitely not being effective, the only thing you are going to accomplish is putting whoever you are talking to on the defensive and now you lost your opportunity of convincing them. Or maybe brutal honesty is not that effective, you choose which one of the 2

You can say the truth of the matter without being brutal. You are trying to tear down someone that contributes to open source, and whether or you not like it, people out there do or they wouldn't still be developing it.

And contrary to what you seem to think, if you don't like the product don't use it, and better yet don't comment on it as you aren't helping anyone.

What's fraud is that you represented your opinions in such a tremendously ineffective way that none of us can read them now, and you are acting like you blessed the world. Nobody even knows what your opinion was, I hope you're happy.
