Not this list (users-linux) but the general-linux list. This list was wisely created to handle such things. While we all enjoy a good flame war from time to time there are those on the list who at the particular time a hissy fit or flame war breaks out either are not interested or are trying to get a little Linux help. For some strange reason, they end up trying to be the peacemakers and following the bibical injuction," blessed be the peacemakers for they shall get hit in the head from both sides." end up dragged into it. For this reason the General list was created. After a reasonable time all such disputes should taken there.
As for the current dispute further discissions of whether Les walks on water or has fried penguin for lunch should continue on the general list. The same for insults directed at Herb because he wants install 2.4 because he feels he's locked into it.
