Are you blind, or can't you see that the text that says the word "revolutionary" is in italics and quoted? That's how OSNews always worked: quoting the linked article.

At OSNews we certainly do NOT believe that these features are revolutionary. They are evolutionary.

"Yes, I know, you were just quoting the article."

This is a very hostile response which is completely uncalled for. Sometimes people discuss the linked article here instead of your presentation of it.

But even if the commenter had blamed you, do you really think this is a good and professional way to respond to your readers?

I think the parent deserves an apology for this ridiculous, unprofessional outburst.

I have been a reader of OSnews for a long time now, even "knew" you back from BeNews days. I think this is it however. You spout off shit all the time as if this is still some hobby site without even the slightest thought toward professionalism. I am sure you won't really give a shit, but I won't be coming back here again.
