Your writings make me very sad. For what reasons do you think
free software developers are working in the case when it is not to
make a living. It's just for fun. Do you think you increase the fun
of kde developers the way you continue this conversation? Please
make them not stop working at all! ;)

You cannot claim anything. There is no guarantee to receive 100% bug-free 
software. (Maybe you remember these statements like "This program is free 
software. It comes without any warranty"). If you are not content, you should 
pay for professional support or kindly ask the people to catch up with your 
bug. There are only these two options.

So who are you, to ignore all these rules when dealing with FOSS?

So please think again about your opinions and statements and consider, that 
your reputation in the FOSS community might be not as good as before when you 
dont start to backpedal soon.
