There are different sorts of critic:
- i looked at your code and your code stinks. Rewrite it here and there.
- i don't like your idea. Don't ever think implementing it.
got my point?
Absolutely.
I don't. Can someone explain it to me? I've not seen any discussions on squeak-dev where people have said or even implied the latter. In reality, all of the vocal discussions center around whether to include certain changes in The Image (tm) or not. In the context of that discussion, comments like "I don't like your idea" are valid because part of the decision process needs to be to find out what the majority thinks about the validity of the change on the larger scale. That doesn't mean that a minority veto should necessarily prevent an idea from being integrated but you can't dismiss such comments merely on the grounds of not being constructive.
