Who said TYPO3 is 'so bad'? Please do me the courtesy of reading and
understanding what I actually said and not taking constructive
criticism as some kind of unprovoked, malicious slur.

Why the patronizing attitude? What does ANY of this have to do with this thread?

In response to a question about the relative merits of Drupal vs TYPO3
I identified a number of pluses and minuses of both systems. When
asked for further details about some points I raised, I offered
further details. I don't have the slightest idea what misdemeanor you
imagine I've committed, nor why you should feel it's your role to
rebuke me for it.
