[Civility:]

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.
