So take your complaints up with the GNOME guys and stop pissing on me. 
Your flaming is not going to make me care any more about you or your 
causes.  In fact, it is likely to make me care less.

Several corporate types, a few members of various media organizations, a 
bunch of artists, some users.  A few geekier people have voiced their 
distaste in them --- you know what?  you're complaining about GNOME, not 
Firefox.  Go to a GNOME list instead and stop pissing on Firefox.

Be careful, not all maintainers respond well to trolls.  Trolling with 
some people may result in more of your items ignored.
