Excuse Me?!

This is just my opinion, but that sounds a tad bit offensive.

The people who created and developed POV have shown a large amount of talent
and generosity. That should be recognized but it seems you are taking that
talent and generosity for granted. Constructive criticism is one thing, I
think you went beyond that.

Good programs are in my opinion as much art as science, and art can't be
dictated to only inspired.
Pardon my pretentiousness

P.S. Spelling and grammar do count.
