Your problem seems to be that you like trouble or like to make trouble, that is not the same as critique. Critique has to based on facts. We thrive on this, actually FOSS is based on critique as its main element. Our attitude is we like solving problems.

So my advice to you is : stop trolling.  Maybe you're to young, and if not, you should see a therapist (I grant you that most of them are bad, but if you really want to change, you'll find a good one).

Good bye (or I should rather say 'Good buy Lightone')
