Not true. Check that they purposely add images that have no explanatory 
intention. I have already done, just in case I was mistaken.

In fact my inspiration had been those books, not the Internet. And 
lately confirmed by common social media advice.

Alberto Salvia Novella:
 > Non-logic, evasive and manipulative speaking.

The answer is this emotional manipulation was very dangerous to the 
conversation and needed to be spotted. Since the language was very 
inappropriate I chose clarity over diplomacy, as anything else would had 
made the conversation to fall into the manipulation; or worse, into the 
idea I deserve being treated like that.

As I said, I'm over getting that personal.

No, the decisions I have made had been over a proposal; and they are 
only meant to go into the documentation after there's polishing and 
consensus over them. The goal had been to have a prototype, where 
approaches could be tested just in time.

So why I'm writing now in plain text only?

The only two suggestions that I have not implemented from all the amount 
I have received had been:

  - Not using pictographs in wiki-pages, just because I have not decided 
on it yet; as probably would be a better moment to do when Utopic is 
released and pictographs are supported by default in Ubuntu.

  - Not using some kinds of images in wiki-pages, as we have just 
started the conversation!

Even the redaction style in wiki-pages is the way people asked to be.


Thomas Ward:

Converting documentation into a playground is a sift, and people can be 
resistant to that. So specifically in this regard I want to make sure 
points of view are based on deliberation rather than rejection by 
default of unknown approaches.

If you want to know, I have no special faith on using images at the 
bottom of pages. What I'm mostly cautious is that small decision being 
taken away by the status quo, as it defines a style of decision talking 
itself.

The status quo of learning is text, the same as the status quo of Unix 
is "man". It doesn't mean these are bad, but they are the default.


Thomas Ward:
 > Why are you posting this on the QA list instead of the bugsquad list?

Because I thought the Bug-Squad team had joined the Quality team a long 
time ago, and was listed in Launchpad just for historical reasons. So is 
this a mistake?


Good night.
