That's fine, and it's your choice, but please remember that since you are
"staying away from the Debian community", you are using a system that is the
product of others' hard work, and not contributing. If you don't wish to
assist the project, IMO you shouldn't be shooting flames and labels around
when you're dissatisfied with the outcome.

That is just my weak and unfounded opinion; but I just feel that instead of
venting your disgust on other unrelated mailing lists, these issues would
be better brought up to the Debian project itself. That way, we can be
aware of views that diverge from the popular "Debian user"'s view, in order
to attempt to provide a better system for all. I mean, yeah, it's great
hearing praise and honors from people who love Debian, but we can't improve
upon our system when all we hear is what we've done right, and when the grumpy
ones :D post their opinions elsewhere so the larger Debian developer base never
sees them.

Dig? This isn't a flame or a reprimand, it's simply a suggestion. If you
disagree, that is fine. I'm just looking out for my operating system.
