I don't like non-constructive criticism, especially when we need to
judge on "actions" like you suggest.

Have you reported what do you describe by sending them an email to
blockthis () sourceforge net as indicated in the link you referred at [1] ?

It's easy to say "streets are plenty of holes" but then don't report
"that hole" to the municipality trough their reporting procedure to get
it fixed.

You may have a bias that SF is bad-behaving and i may have a bias that
SF is good-behaving.

But the facts are that for each single of the claims/issues being
reported there's a pragmatic reaction considering community needs.
