Was anybody else a bit disappointed to see that when the issue came up |
| 2 |
in the new GMN, it only linked to the posts of developers who were |
| 3 |
against the proposal? There was no attempt made at all to represent the |
| 4 |
other side. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
There has yet to be any polling to indicate what percentage of |
| 7 |
affiliated, official developers oppose the proposal. As far as the |
| 8 |
general community goes, it's no secret that most people support Daniel's |
| 9 |
proposal (the poll in the forums showed more than 90% support). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
There wasn't even a hint that most people have declared their support |
| 12 |
for Daniel's proposal. We heard plenty from one side, and we heard |
| 13 |
nothing from people on the other side. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Whether or not this incontrovertible lapse in journalistic integrity was |
| 16 |
intentional, it's still quite upsetting to me. Part of what's been |
| 17 |
making so many people in the community upset has been the way that the |
| 18 |
people on the inside haven't really been communicating with them, and |
| 19 |
while I'm happy to see the return of a general newsletter to begin to |
| 20 |
fix all that, this kind of one-sided reporting isn't exactly what I was |
| 21 |
hoping for, to say the least. |
| 22 |

Sincerely, |
