No, you do not have a right not to be called a troll.

Read http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/#rnusers...

Same error was made there (apart from the developer, please often call it Media instead of Movie). Anyway, if someone points you to totem and you still insist on trying to raise a non-issue, then yeah.. you're trolling.

And about:
"GNOME is *actively advertising* its Mono-based applications, including Tomboy, F-Spot and this "GNOME Media Player" I've never heard of before!"

F-Spot is not part of GNOME.

I am not aware we're advertising Tomboy. Would be nice to do more advertisements in general though.

Must you be so obnoxious?

He *specifically* said that it was mentioned separately to Totem, which would sensibly be interpreted as meaning that they are different things. The expected uselessly-terse-and-insulting OSS-style response was given, and when it was pointed out that the person giving the response had clearly not read the original post, was immediately labeled a troll.

Your behaviour has been apalling, and the fact that he then went totally non-linear does not excuse it.
