I didn't miss your point, You didn't explain your point until AFTER I called you on your statments. My feelings weren't hurt, but I still don't see any justification for your language, especially as you were not adding anything to the discussion, just throwing around insults.

Also, I gave you the reasons that you were looking for. Not knowing your background, your original statements just made you look like some zealot. That's my problem. If you had of stated your QT background in your original post, you might have not come off as such an arrogant person, biased individual.

My "language"? You have thrown around many more insults than me. Count them and grow up.

"Some zealot" Biased? And what exactly would be my cause? What is my bias? A zealot for justification? OK, I'm a zealot then.
It seems your pride was hurt because I apparently insulted your favorite platform (which of course I didn't). You're the only zealot I see here.

I did not have to state my Qt background, to ask why someone preferred KDE to other frameworks. I just chose to.

BTW: "Look up arrogance". Someone who assumes their opinions should go uncontested. That's arrogance.

"BTW: "Look up arrogance". Someone who assumes their opinions should go uncontested. That's arrogance."

No, according to Merriam Websters, Arrogance is defined as:
an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions

I would say your initial statements were both overbearing and presumptuous. Presumptuous because you just assumed that people that agreed with the OP's assertions on the superiority of KDE4 were sycophants because they did not back up their opinions (doesn't make them invalid, just unprovable at the time) and overbearing because of your language and attitude.

"You have thrown around many more insults than me. Count them and grow up. "

I don't think I have insulted you at all. I called you a troll, but that is not always an insult, and it seems to me to fit your behavior. You however have called people names, told me to grow up, tried to claim that my feelings were hurt, and that you hurt my pride.

My pride and feelings were never in danger. I was arguing for other peoples' rights to state their opinions without being called names. It's that simple.

If you choose to continue this discussion, feel free to contact me at the email address in my profile, I would prefer to take this off the forum, so everyone else can get back to the topic at hand without our distractions.
