I think the post in question was from one of the mandrake team... and as much as I sympathise with the situation, I agree with them... It is to easy to get into huge arguements about percieved right and wrong... and it really achives nothing except for alot of bad feeling... All the messages about prayer and good will are fine I guess, but when you start debating right and wrong, then its time to go back to linux problems..... I don't think anyone has been unsympathetic, but they have probably seem this sort of thing before, people get emotional, and rightly or otherwise, start defending their positions... which leads to arguements, (which we sore the start of in the last couple of days) and name calling and all the other stuff... none of which helps.. So they try to move people on... its not a bad thing, and at least Civilme was nice enough to start another mailing list for the people wanting to talk about it.. No need to be offended by it. just my thoughts.. rgds Frankn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rog Sent: Friday, 14 September 2001 12:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] This is a linux mailing list On Thu, 13 Sep 2001 16:15:03 +0200 (CEST), you wrote: > >FYI, I'll take a look at the list tomorrow, and blacklist everyone who is >still talking about politics there.

You've said twice how you'll "blacklist" anyone still discussing it tomorrow as though you have the ability to have us thrown off the list. If you are just talking about killfiling people, please killfile me now, as I have no need for discussion with you, about Linux or anything else.
