In fact, the developers span all ages and stations in life.  I find it
interesting that you feel that the *developers* are the angry and
aggressive party in this discussion...

If you have not read the back story on this particular topic, then I
suggest you do so before you toss any insults into the ring.

(Who is male, but not under 25, and has been polite in this
 discussion, in the face of personal insults directed at the
 development team, unsupported vitriolic attacks on design decisions,
 and general ignorance.)
