Very counterproductive and negative approach.

Free software design has a little growing room, and you could get in on
the ground floor by providing positive techniques to overcome these
sorts of issues.

Perhaps offering up a design plan, an alternative, or something to build
on might be more applicable?

There are many that _might_ agree with your position, however, the
manner in which you state it will garner zero attention.  It doesn't
take much effort for a seagull to fly over and poop on the crowd below.
 It _does_ take a good deal of effort to engage the issues and work to
resolve them.

Once again, it is always easier to tear down than build upwards.


Sincerely,
TJS
