While you on the other hand need to learn some respect with others that have a different opinion than yours; if you don't want a snippy response, then watch what comes out of your keyboard. Don't start an insult and then get on the red carpet with a crown saying you've been insulted.

It's not KDE anymore, it's gnome, with the accompanying lack of sophistication. That might change but as of right now that's the way it is.
