Well, I have some mixed feelings about this whole thing. What SMK did was definitely not a bright thing to do. Name calling is part of human nature, I am convinced. And while almost anyone who has a beef with someone would probably resort to it at least a little, it is usualy a real good thing to keep in check. Mattias's reaction does not surprise me, and doesn't seem very high minded either. I can appreciate not wanting to take abuse, but it happens in life, and I think he doesn't deal with it real well. Why? Well, it was he who opened his project long ago for public use and scrutiny, and when someone does that, they can be sure that all personality types will have something to say. So, I believe that anyone doing this has to be prepared to deal wiht both the the good and bad results of the whole thing. To me, Mat's reaction of taking his toys and going home is kind of childish. He has plenty of supporters, and a casual glance through BBS of this subject would show that even those of us who think he is not allways a sterling example of how to treat others don't like what has happened. I love Jed, and even if JKedit and FB were out and both free, I would keep using Jed. Though I would probably mess around with FB because I like theme and variation. I don't think what SMK did was very smart, but people do dumb things sometimes, usualy to amuse themselves. I think Mattias's reaction is as knee-jerk to the insult as the insult probably was in being delivered. At least he is going to still release it, if he ever finishes it. And maybe by then he will be willing to communicate with people who use it.
