@Ted Clayton -

Yes, but you see, KevinJohn Gallagher didn’t just switch. He laid out a detailed, itemized, organized criticism of WordPress. And published it to the world. He very much launched an attack.

He did not just make a decision for himself. He set out to publicize his grievances with WordPress, as a “campaign” to influence others to adopt his opinion … and follow in his footsteps.

Some of KJG’s assertions were highly debatable … and while we discourage excess, we readily become even more emotionally involved in our debates, than we do with our tools. ;)

Studies have shown that people who fixate negatively on the actions of others can improve their outlook and self-esteem by working to help others.

Have you tried volunteering?
