In reply to Louis Reingold.

@Scott I actually agree with David. I find your comments very toxic. I come often to WPTavern to find out what is going on in the WordPress world, which is quite a lot, but somehow you are always able to take away all good stuff from the article, even when it actually had good news. You are doing a huge disfavor to both this website and the overall community, I believe nobody deserves your constant negativity.

Please notice that I'm not here to attack you. This is a free world, and you are free to not agree and have a different opinion, nobody is asking you to agree with everything. And WordPress is huge, so it is expected that not everyone will agree.

However, encountering your negative comments just takes away the joy of reading the article. Seriously, do you need to voice out your negative point of view each single time? What for? What do you gain from it? I see nobody winning, just people losing. If you want to rant, you can do it, but wouldn't it be better if you do it on your own blog? Then, whoever agrees with you, they can just read your opinions there, and nobody will be affected.

I'm going to ask you to tone it down, as a sign of respect to the community.

If you decide to keep up with your negative comments, I would then suggest the WPTavern team to implement an up/downvote system for the comments, to show how much support every comment has. Right now they have only likes, which do not fully represent the support from the community. Your comment may have had 3 likes, and you can claim that you represent many other people. Yet, I have the impression that if a downvote button were present, way many more people would vote your comments down, expressing that your views are exceptional, and not representative of people out there. I would certainly downvote your comments, non-constructive as they are right now.

But I hope there is no need for that, to show who is right and who is wrong. So I'll just ask you to tone it down, and stop your negative comments just for the sake of them. And once again, I'm not here to make trouble to you. But I want to enjoy reading the tavern, I think it is only fair.
