You are attacking the character of someone but can't even be bothered to provide anything to back up your claims? Then why post this in the first place?
Because that's my experience and I'm sharing it with others.
Are you saying I shouldn't voice my opinions, unless they consist of only praise? Nobody asked the original commenter to provide proof of Kovid being "gentle". If you're going down the "only facts" road, then each praise should be followed by "sources" too.
If you don't count personal experience as relevant, that's fine, but I really don't feel like digging up a bunch of github links from years ago.
