I understand your feelings. :)

A goal of a press release is to offer a positive spin and focus on 
the announced product rather than what other products lack. We want 
to refrain from KDE bashing. If you browse the dev mail list 
archives from a while ago, you'll discover that a couple of KDE 
devs invited themselves into our mail list and started a nasty 
spitting contest. Got rather heated. Nobody won and one of the KDE 
devs took to his blog to continue bashing Trinity. He stopped that 
public campaign when a lot of people posted comments to his blog 
entry to leave us the hell alone, that the free/libre software 
philosophy allows and embraces forking. He was reminded that we 
were not harming anybody. After those public rebuttals he stayed 
away, but I have not forgotten him or his tirades.

I'm not afraid of bashing KDE4, especially the piece of shit known 
as akonadi, or the obvious relentless fan-boyism that permeates the 
entire KDE culture. Yet I'd rather we follow the advice of 
Voltaire's Candide and just "tend our own garden."

Looks fine and thank you. Subject to final review by other team 
members of course. :)
