Your comment reminded me of an old Turkish saying: "Looks like your intention is not to eat the grape but to beat the vineyard keeper."



Sorry but I don't get it :D


It can be used in several situations, one could be:

The acts of a person implies that person's motivation is not to use a product or comment about qualities a product but to bash the producer/creator using the context of the product. So ulterior motive is to punish creator, the actual product is only a medium. (grape: product - wineyard keeper: producer)

Sorry it sounded a bit harsh. I also agree that a dry and more technical blog entry would be better, but I think it is not a big deal considering the importance of the product.
