I'm not sure what you're suggesting here. Are you suggesting that negative comments about GNOME be censored? That seems to happen on a lot of other sites, and I'm glad that LWN is a "free speech zone"... despite the occasional bozo. If I have misinterpreted you, please correct me.

Also, it would be helpful if you could reveal whether you're affiliated with GNOME or not.

I doubt there is much anti-Gnome-3 censoring going on... it may be just that (i) Gnome 3 has matured to the point that it can be used by Aunt Tillie, (ii) the users became accustomed to the Gnome 3 way, and (iii) the trolls got bored and went elsewhere.

You forget about the most probable scenario: people don't care, because they want their job being done in a more usable way, so they switched to KDE.
