You would be correct - but in the same vein, people who choose to work
in such a way that cause them pain have no one else but themselves to blame.

Eh? What feature? I haven't seen any reference to a specific feature.

WHAT feature? What are you rambling about??

Yes, but you are aware that talking to yourself on a public email list
just might make people question your sanity.

Bigotry? What in bogs name are you yammering about? This is a support
list for users of Libreoffice, not a platform for you to engage in PC
(politically correct, not personal computer - lol) rants.

Ummm... please do not deliberately mis-quote people. He did not say that
or anything like it anywhere in his very short and on point response.
His entire response is at the top of this email, see for yourself.

Well, since you are the one who started this thread, and since you
failed to define even one single actual problem, with specificity, how
exactly do you suggest anyone 'tackle the question'?

I suggest they tackled it the only way they could - by pointing out the
total lack of content beyond whining and ranting in your post.

Maybe you should start over, and post again, outlining your specific
problem, and providing a suggestion for how you think it should work.

Oh - and doing so with a reasonably respectful tone would go a long way
to getting helpful answers. As it is now, you are getting exactly what
you asked for.

Why WHAT shouldn't be there?

> People are questioning and criticising the motives for wanting it.

No, they are questioning your apparent claim that you said anything of
substance.

> Or questioning whether I really need it (which is that thing Linux

Since you have not stated what 'it' is, it is unsurprising that no one,
in fact has questioned whether or not you need it, they have questioned
your ability to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

Not the path - the method.
