[EVALUATION] - E05 - Community / Community Feedback
The community has in general a very positive and helpful behaviour.
However, in some threads some typical reactions start.
Some community members complain, whilst writing fully off-topic -
decreasing this way the analytical value of the discussions.
-
I ask everyone to use this thread here to post any complaints or
comments which target my person, my evaluation style and processes etc.
This way:
their opinions were publicized
the evaluation threads were kept clean
any reader can filter this thread here if he's not intrested in such
stuff.
[note that you can always filter my threads, too. I do not write in
other threads.]

This reminds me of an old joke (no pun intended, just for the request
for opinions on you...):
-
A guy is told by a doctor that he is terminally ill and has a month to live.
The guy says "I would like to get a second opinion". "You're ugly too",
says the doctor.
-
I share your opinion that every time a discussion goes personal or goes
into religious IDE wars it misses the point.
Cheers,
Amnon

It is my feeling that your "efficient" style of writing makes you come off as a non-emotional psychopath marketing/management droid.
This makes people uncomfortable, which makes communication inefficient.
This is just the feeling i got from reading the threads, no harm intended.

While I admire your policy of "sticking to the facts" (I personally
dislike bringing politics into a technical discussion), your style of
sticking to the facts is brusque to the point of rudeness. Please note
that I'm not saying that you are rude, just that your posts read that way.
People do not react well to this as you have seen and, as intelligent a
person as you seem to be, I'm surprised that you have not yet figured
this out and changed your style so that you may communicate more
effectively.
Ciao,
Gordon

I suspect you will find that increases in complexity will be more than compensated for by the fact that people will take what you say much more seriously. No matter how technically correct you are, if people don't listen to you, you're not communicating effectively or efficiently.

I've opend the E06 thread, but the evaluation is very short [at least
for now].
"IntelliJ IDEA", "most intelligent", "J2EE development" and finally the
"status of competitive products" make the requirement "WYSIWYG HTML
editor plug-in" absolute valid.
You should accept this fact and contribute your part to convince
jetBrains, thus you favorite IDE becomes stronger, whilst providing an
(at least optional) plug-in.
I don't understand the microwave part, but the operating system makes sense.
Will think about this.
I am a clueless spam artist.
For people which like to see me this way.
ok, Mr. Giver.

This is the wrong tone for these forums, or you are in the wrong place
if this is your only available tone.
This is not a board of directors, in 3-piece suits,
this is a community of people who like IDEA, and are trying to improve
it, and communicate informally, on a daily base, sometimes for years,.
Loosen up man, and we'll listen to what you have to say, if you say it
our way, and if it's interesting.

I think it is already too late. I'm to the point, I am ready to mark
all his threads as read and move on. The whole point of these forums is
communication and he seems to have more fun conversing with his calculator.

I question the efficiency of your communication since it seems to
immediately trigger confusion and/or hostility. You can't possibly
regard that as efficient.
Couching it as a pseudo-mathematical proof doesn't make it true. Humans
are social creatures and thus in order to interact with them you have to
utilise "social skills". I am not an inherently social person but I have
learned that some adherence to the niceties of conversation and personal
interaction make communication much easier.
Efficiency is not paramount. I think you may be suffering from a case of
"premature optimization".

"confusion and/or hostility" and other reactions are part of the
"picture of the people" which I like to get.

ok
in context of a software production system, it is.
in context of my future long-term-projects, it is.

That's fine. Just be careful so you don't project yourself on the community.
If you approach a community radiating attitude perceived as hostile, don't be surprised if it is reflected back.

I'm not surprised by any actions taken by a human or by a group of humans.
The action:
Perceiving/intepreting a communication approach
as hostile, to justify hostile reflection [emotional, insulting,
twisting, ...]...
...is nothing special.
Weak and instable personalities tend to react this way.
Those personalities were irrelevant to me.

Reality is sad: Rwanda, Croatia, Irak Darfur, W reelection, ... and the
list goes on and on: anybody can do (almost) anything, if that's where
live draws him/her. Once you know that, you're less surprised by life,
and by people.
I must say, though, that I'm surprised by Ilias insistance (is that a
word?) in this forum.

you have understood the direction of my sad sentence.
"insistence"
I just evaluate if JetBrains, IntelliJ IDEA, and the community around it
can backup my long-term software-projects.
why are you surprised?

Of course this evaluation will end, but I'm not yet ready (e.g. due to
some missing answers of jetBrains about the licensing, thread E03).
And i've not yet decided if I move on to Borland or stay temporarily
with jetBrains.
So, please have a little bit patience.

Well JetBrains is busy developers and it takes time to read whole exisitng threads, in new one we will help you and them to meet and solve your(Ilias not JB) problems.
I'm sure that they were first who filter your messages by the way.
TIA,

Ilias,
But they doesn't know how this answers important to us. You'll see if communicate with JB in constructive way you always recieve response.
Rob Harwood from the beginning try to discuss with you but now looks like he also understand that your Evaluation not of IDEA or JetBrains products but of another community members patience.
Do you think if you keep communicate such way and IDEA accept your tests you'll fill comfortable here?
TIA,
Dmitry
