I have a right to express my opinion. I've spent around $460 for two 770s, so I payed my membership dues.

Your "rights" do not extend to personal attacks.

Who did I personally attack? And how did I attack them?

your apps dont get updated by themselves and all this stuff. its a lose-lose-situation.
I don't know -- why did people want to do it for years? For one thing, the optification trap didn't exist yet -- that was an innovation of recent provenance. For another, in the case of Ruby, there weren't many updates. I think there was one a year, mainly because only a few developers were creating versions of Ruby that worked in the tablet environment, so automatic updates weren't crucial.

Installing Ruby from a .deb file using the App Manager was definitely prevented. Fortunately, Ruby is supported now so it isn't an issue.

Ring around the rosy, anyone?

I lost the ease of installing .debs using the app manager.

What does calling people snobs contribute to the discussion? It seems more likely you're deliberately trying to preemptively derail any possible productive discussion.
