WTF?

It is not your business to police what I can or cannot talk about. All
valid options can be considered and discussed, regardless of how you
personally feel about them.

And it would be really really REALLY nice if you finally learned to
distinguish between your personal opinions, official project policy, and
objective truth. Other people may have opinions and preferences that
disagree with yours, that does not make them necessarily wrong.
