The number of posts I make in a community does not indicate whether I do or do not participate. It's a very bad assumption on your part that only people who "post" are participating. Reading is also a form of participation.
Are you saying that the core dev team had no clue this was coming and that this caught everyone completely by surprise? Isn't that exactly why Apple does beta releases?
Your opinion and you are entitled to it. We happen to have differing opinions in this case. Yes, the community is not controlled by Alfred, but the platform is. And that is where some sort of check/balance could have been implemented to avoid running into this. Again, my opinion.
Posts are merged, unmerged, split up...It's good to be the king! I posted a single reply and you thought it was getting off topic? A post made on a discussion where a dissenting view is published is deemed off topic and you then you unanimously decide to remove (sorry split) it? Excellent community building skills. And you wonder why people like me are losing faith in Alfred.
My post was meant for the community to consume, not for you to shove around as you see fit. If you disagree, be open about it and post your differing opinions for everyone to read/comment keeping the threaded context in place.
I won't be engaging in this thread anymore. It is pointless since criticism is not received well and draconian actions seem to be the norm for mods. Hell, I won't be surprised if this post now gets me banned!
