When Doves Cry

I have to say that I'm wary of this sort of supposed olive branch. All too often when UserLand says stuff like this, what they really mean is those damn snotty Unix developers don't give us GUI types the respect they deserve. UserLand catches a lot of flak from 'Nix developers, true. But I also think that a fair amount of it is provoked by inflammatory statements from UserLand. As much lip service gets paid to "mutual respect" on SN, all too often in practice it ends up as respect me, I can call you whatever the hell I want.
