 have been searching for, and in this ticket have found, a perfect example
 where communication between open source developers and users fails at
 multiple, fundamental levels.

 > You are making a fundamental mistake here in assuming that communication
 has failed.  The fact that we aren't willing to undo our UI changes is not
 a sign of communications failure.  We have listened to the whining, the
 complaining, the threats, and the few well-presented and logical arguments
 we've received.  We are working to improve the changed UI; reverting this
 is a step ''backwards'' in the development process that we're not willing
 to take.

 The fact is that your new step is a feature only for narrow group of
 developers and it is a bug for the rest users of pidgin. You do not going
 to recognize your fault and still act as a mules. Someone of you (i.e.
 developers) have very horrible conception of design. The case with
 autoresize IS NOT not the single one, but it is the awfulest all of its.
 Yeah, others small design "impruvements" are sufferable but not this one!
 That is why now you get so much feedbacks.

 Please, do not feed us with the shit like 'backwards in the development'.
 Just say as it is -

 '''We are not willing to listen to our users, we are developing the
 product on our own.'''

 At least this would give us opportunity not to waste time on these
 debates.
