Has anyone contacted him asking him to be more specific about any of the problems he's found? If he's had so much trouble using it, perhaps he can explain what parts were causing that trouble.

I don't think that would be very hard to guess.. - Theming drupal withouth knowledge of PHP has been improved since a little while and is available in HEAD now after PHPTemplate hit the trunk; - I do think that without any knowledge of PHP, you can't theme drupal. I tried to convince *some* people to use wrapper functions inside theme_* functions so they are easier to customize, but that had a negative aura around itself.. I'm still not convinced that this would be a bad thing todo; And, afterwards I'm not very curious about what he thinks about drupal anymore after the words he already spread here. If the guy needs help, he can always ask but in a gentle way of talking. Which is imo not like this! So if he can talk without words/sentences as 'bitch', 'fuckin' and the populair way of writing I am always willing to help someone. But this get's me in the wrong mood.. The community does good things andn keep improving drupal, which is really nice. This kind of e-mails are humiliating for all the people who do their best to keep improving drupal and work on it a lot. The way of writing makes me angry, and sick.. For my final words I'm lowering myself to the level of the original writer: "The e-mail is full of shit, without any real solutions of what could be improved. I don't know who the hell this guy may be, but he probebly think he's God or something. I truly ask myself why people are writing such e-mails.. I cannot see what the thinking behind it is, or could be. IMO these kind of e-mail could/should be ignored..." As said above, this is it.. PERIOD When the e-mail is rewritten on a normal way, and does have some improvements which we should work on it will be a whole other story.. But this is not normal.. Just my 0.02 cents.. (I don't expect you guys to feel the same, but I just want to point this out) Your sincerely, Stefan
