Hi Ronald.
I'm sorry Ronald but my early post was only the tip of the iceberg.
My issue on that case was that I was asking for time estimates for a person that speaks spanish and asked that. How should I translate "It is going to be ready when it is ready"?. It is just too demotivating reply that for a person that has not been actively on the community.
I think it will be rude to bring up names (or even show chat logs or emails) and I prefer to bring this conversation to the public to see if something can be understood from both sides. I don't want to e-mail them directly because they will think they are 100% all right because "they are the developers and know what is good for the user", I had tried that on the past without good results. Please notice that I'm not generalizing.
I got trolled because of the
OS2World Github repository, some dev told me that it was a waste of my time , while at the end other developer thanked me for consolidating the source code there. The trolling that annoyed me most last year is one that told me that asking for donations to go to video stream Warpstock was a waste of money because they will make a better use for the money (because they are developers and the community needs software ). Right now I'm asking again for funds because I think it is important to stream the event for the user community and I'm on the Warpstock 2016 directors team, but it is not nice for me to ask for donations with that kind of trolling on my back.
I haven't made any money running OS/2 with other staff members since we started and I don't want to make money from this (it is not the moment yet, this is not an important end-user market), but I can not afford to have additional expend costs for doing OS/2 stuff in my family budget. Last Warpstock was going to be my second and last, but I decided to give it a try for the next one since the team of directors is awesome and want to have the greatest Warpstock year after year. Last year I was very disappointing with that comment from a prominent member of that community, but maybe he has his reasons because... "maybe"... he is risking his own money on OS/2 and he don't see the return money flow as he expects too.
I know that there are developers that get trolled from a user that donates $5 dollars and want results "right now". But I also think that some developers also are acting badly to disqualify the intelligence of the user (or their needs). I think that something in the middle needs to be worked out.
But the door is open, maybe it is just me that I have accumulated trolling on my back and that "It will be ready when it is ready" was the last drop. I guess it is just exactly the same when developers get trolled by sassy user. I will have to let it go.
