GNOME needs a gadfly like him. Or rather, needed.

If GNOME's developers have truly become indifferent or outright hostile to the needs of actual users, then the project is doomed to irrelevance.

Nonsense. No project, open or closed, needs a non-contributing pain in the ass, injecting his (and it is always his) nonsense into every single discussion, forcing every conversation back onto whatever topic they felt they lost the last time, regardless of existing consensus, regardless of the lack of new information, and regardless of who is actually doing the work.

Also, I'd like to meet people that don't resort to emotional blackmail in order to try and force nerds to provide them free goods or services.

And I'd also like a pony.

His attempt to restore a culture of listening to users is not a non-contribution; it could have saved GNOME.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.
