I do not know in what language you arrange your thoughts (I arrange my
thoughts not in English as well), but the word 'stupid' here is not
translating well. What is a stupid app?

I think the use of the word stupid is the reason for your perceived
rudeness. To tell you the truth, Emanoil, I did not think that you
were deliberately rude. But using unconstructive, ill-defined terms
such as stupid, could be perceived as rude. Furthermore, suggesting
that the programmer should have his fingers cut off _is_ rude. The
developer in question is named Peter Penz, you can check that by
clicking Help -> About. That is a human being that coded Dolphin, not
an team of developers without a face at Microsoft. Would you really
want Peter to come across a message that he should have his fingers
cut off?
