I wonder if Jono realises that his reply to your comment (after conceding that people aren't rational) semantically boils down to: "I'm not interested in having a discussion with people".sigpic "Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all." -- Douglas Adams

Doesn't surprise me.
For Canonical, "community" == "free labor"
And for a "Community Manager" who wrote a book on community management (no, that's not "recommended reading"...unless you wish to get a headache), Jono knows remarkably little about either community or management.Last edited by kubicle; Apr 26, 2013, 03:16 AM.

And that is why people write books--to try to figure things out for themselves. Some succeed, some fail. Another infamous example is psychologists who go into the business to figure themselves out; many begin by writing their first self-help book.

I feel like sending a telegram to Canonical... it would go something like this:
"Dear corporate overlords STOP
Please please please STOP"

I must admit to a grudging respect for Rowan WIlliams - he defeated Richard Dawkins in a debate held at Cambridge University a couple of months back... no mean feat, that.sigpic "Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all." -- Douglas Adams

In case you guys haven't been following the bug report, I would recommend that you take a look. The conversation has really become quite a spectacle. The excuse-mongering is borderline astonishing.
