Dear Alexandre,

I agree with Gregory that your original reply to the original suggestion was
phrased too laconically, and came across as rude, impolite, and unfriendly. You
should try to improve such replies in the future, in order to make potential
contributors feel more welcome.

I've written about it many years ago here:
http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-developer/5878-rudeness-on-gimp-devel-and-bugzilla-was-re-tools

----

As a side note regarding IRC - old does not necessarily imply it is bad (see
http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=two-kinds-of-fools ) and
one can normally find some unified clients to communicate on more than one
service.

Regards,

        Shlomi Fish
