You are free to voice your opinion yes, and I am free to tell you to grow up. Accusing the developers of misbehaving is also an interesting word. Consider this definition: "Bad or dishonest management by persons supposed to act on another's behalf". The things is, Gnome is not accountable to you and it never was meant to be. Perhaps you misunderstood the arrangement?
Still, on reflection I will admit my original use of the word "poor behaviour" may have been in of itself poor. For my part, I just find the behaviour to be unconscionable.
What has anyone taken from you? Seriously, answer the question. I am curious as to what will be the answer.

Nobody has yet taken anything from me, read again: what I say is *you* try to silence criticism of GNOME (which you seem to like) by accusing critics of GNOME of "poor behaviour", and telling them that instead of voicing criticism they just "use other software".
I repeat to you, seeing as you seem so interested in answers: go read, read a lot of facts you don't take into account. This isn't about ugly software. This is about (just an example) making systemd a requirement for GNOME, and making systemd a requirement for udev. These systems are *all* made by the same people. Forcing downstream distros to use your software isn't exactly healthy competition, and these and many other tactics employed by these people show that new elements have to be taken into account to see the whole picture. Make a list of what company all these developers are employees, and then you really will to make your effort to continue to see that everything is peachy.
I don't have anything against GNOME3 per se, I really think it's huges steps backwards in respect to the previous version, and I've used both, but that's me (of course you might want to hear also the other million people with the same experience). What really disturbs me is that all this is part of a much bigger issue. And that *will* move me to be vocal about it.

It's nice to ask for participation in your project, and at the same time rejecting 90% of that participation. Clearly a good way to promote your project and get people involved and not alienating anyone. Again, you try to take my right to say all this my calling me selfish, so congrats for the passive-agressive attempt at censorship. Sadly it will stay an attempt, as much as you don't like to hear disagreement and complaint.
