Obviously, I was mistaken. It has continued to pollute this forum for
nearly a week.
What has become conspicuously apparent is that if those who are doing
the most complaining had spend even one percent of that time keeping
their systems up-to-date and keeping themselves abreast of current
development and deployment strategies with the software they employ,
this whole discussion would be academic.
In the interest of eliminating any further waste of my time or
computer
resources, I am now instigating a kill filter on this thread.
That's right - if I can't bully everyone round to my way of
thinking, then I'm taking my ball home. A very grown up attitude !
You certainly are being the bully here, what with throwing buckets of
acid around......
You (and I mean a small subset of people who are unconditionally
supporting the action taken by the ClamAV team) have consistently
used false logic, outright lies, personal insults, and arguments
worthy of criminal defences to try and weasel out of any blame
whatsoever for having misjudged things rather badly.
Put bluntly, if people had admitted early on that perhaps it could
have been handled better, that perhaps they didn't consider all
classes/types of user, and that it is perhaps not unreasonable that
users could be a trifle annoyed ... then this **WOULD** have blown
over ages ago.
But we did on the very first day of this thread. I said that it was
ClamAV's decision to make.
It's not that you had to do something that people are complaining
about, it's not that you ended support for updates to older versions
that people are complaining about, it's the way you did it and the
way you refuse to accept that there can be any other valid viewpoint
that really p***es people off. You may, if you'd read the messages,
have noted that even people who were not affected by this thought
you got it wrong.
