I apologize in advance to all those who this might offend.

Kevin, please stop being such an ass all the time. I mean really, just
give it a rest. We get it, you *love* KDE and that's awesome but just
because its not everyone's preference doesn't mean everyone is out to
take KDE down.

Maybe take some of this energy you spend starting Gnome vs. KDE flame
wars (or trying to at least) and get more people involved in the KDE
SIG. Get contributors interested and make then want to help contribute
towards making the KDE experience in Fedora the best it can possibly
be.
