I'll be honest, if someone described me as "scumbags who have tried to turn <n> into spyware" on the issue tracker for a project I maintain, I'd probably block them too. That kind of language really doesn't achieve anything, and any issue-tracker is better off without it.

Just closing the issue with no further comment on such an important allegation is not good though.

I know my wife recently installed Audacity; I'm going to scramble to figure out what the state of this is now.

Thanks Antisol for bringing it to my attention!

This is precisely why I created this issue. My mission is now accomplished. I very much appreciate your thanks :)

Executive Summary: 3.0.2 is "safe"; further versions TBD.

Appreciated!

Exactly. Disagreement, even a stronge disagreement with peoples opinions or actions does not require or even permit personal attacks. I do like changes done to audcity, but I dislike calling people "scumbags" or stuff like that.

Since last message was flagged, please explain to me, how is shipping people to CCP is considered a "strong disagreement".

That's like saying Nazi's were a bit naughty. Or that inside of an active star is lukewarm.

It's an outright lie. If anything GP was very temperate in their response.

I guess it depends on your perspective.

For example, if you work for musescore... ;)

Yeah, there is heavy bandwagonning going around.

I really don't understand why your comments keep getting flagged. Bizarre.

MuseScore hired some trolls.

yeah that would make sense, they are very obviously buying articles on Ars Technica.

If you see the post from geofft, it could be argued the person filling in the issue was being precise and correct.

To make it clear, this would be them not you :-)

That would indeed be my argument.
