So someone posted an issue(s), then marked it solved when they got a workaround which may not resolve the actual issue but got them past their initial problem(s). Your argument to that is that their "false solution" will mislead future readers of the list. Doesn't the same apply to insulting participants of the list? Not to mention this comes shortly after a discussion about attracting new blood into the Gentoo community. You don't have to participate in this thread. You could also simply say "I said in your previous posts that you need to do /this/." We should never resort to insults and name calling if we want this to be a productive list. If there's a problem with someone, either stop replying to their messages, take it up with them directly (and diplomatically), or bring it up with the list owner [1,2]. 1: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt 2: gentoo-user+ow...@lists.gentoo.org - -- wraeth <wra...@wraeth.id.au> GnuPG Key: B2D9F759 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlXmZZoACgkQXcRKerLZ91n3xAD/TkB/Qsw9dQzmFNO17XYAa69i dlmukfj3FgdPz1OSm4QA/iLSdfcTLtjWFHDQtYyI92zzXvwL0QitH8Hhdx1irQo2 =7q/Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
