I'm sorry you think of this as smearing you in public.

That's not an apology.

Cause that is apparently what you want from me.

What I want from you and every other P6 advocate is honesty. I want you all to stop misrepresenting history, to stop assuming bad faith from people who criticize P6, to stop speculating that P6 critics are motivated by mental or emotional problems.

I want you all to reach the point where you can evaluate criticism of the code, the documentation, the project, the project management, even the history of the project with an open mind, where people who have tried the project and found it wanting in some way are giving you honest opinions backed up by legitimate experiences.
