[Civility:]

We might not implement their letter, but the spirit of the ideas of keeping civil and assuming good faith *are* applied at the development level; we just reserve the right to be blunt.
Being blunt or dismissive is completely contrary to the letter and spirit of WP:CIV. Things like:
- Rudeness
- Judgmental tone
- Belittling contributors because of their skills
- Personally targeted behavior that causes an atmosphere of greater conflict and stress
Well, if you think so, you should probably never have posted the mail I'm replying now.
I'll not go into details, but you have a serious amount of attitude-readjustment to do, before it's safe for you to discuss tecnical issues again. Your "I'm not a developer, so I alone know what the users want"-tone, does not exactly help either.
So, in short:
* Never impose organization on something that doesn't need it. * Never mistake your opinion for the norm. * Never *ever* treat a developer as a low-class individual.
Learn that, and we can talk.
