Would it surprise you to know that I do software development for a profession? I also have one of the best teams in existence. We’re so good because we freely criticize each other to learn what can be done better. It’s never meant personally (and if ever does get to that level, it usually means that someone is about to be fired.) I WANT people to tell me when my work sucks as long as they can tell me WHY they think it’s bad.
My “brutality” here on this forum isn’t actually directed at any developer or particular person. In fact, it’s more directed in a general sense to ST as a company. Being that ST bills itself as being dev friendly and accepting of feedback, my hope is that my “brutality” is seen as prodding them to do better and showing the flaws as seen from outside the company.
Of course, by now I realize that ST is pretty much ignoring me (and, sadly, my support@ tickets 
), but if I ever stop trying, it means I’ve completely given up on ST.
