I hardly deem it necessary to post to this list, it's often far more interesting to read what my elders have to say and deal with; the few times I *have* posted I haven't been treated with any disrespect or hostility. It is merely a testament to your own hostility and berating tone that seem to earn you the ire of this list. >I want to be a part > of the Linux list in my community, but this community is very unchurched > and way too liberal.

I admire your dogmatic adherence to your moral ethics and beliefs, it's something that many of us (myself included) lack today. What I cannot stand, however, is your incessant need to fling these beliefs in the face of contributors to the list, *regardless* of whatever transgression you may think they have committed. Simply because other members of the list have broken the rules does not justify your, often violent and uncalled for, reactions; if you are truly a man of God then it should be a simple matter of staying "above the influence". There's no reason to poison this discussion with inane ramblings about God, censorship, reactOS, or any other babble that doesn't pertain to a technical question. I think several other members have attempted to make this point before. I'd hate to perpetuate this discussion any further, but I want to be perfectly clear with you here, Michael: simply because I or other members of this list do not respond immediately to your emails does not mean we are in any way censoring your messages. I do, however, find your questions to be arcane, esoteric, and generally above my level of competence. Above all else I am here to learn from the minds of greater Linux practitioners than I, and I couldn't care less what personal beliefs they hold. If you ever hope to get *any* sort of help from this list, I suggest you start doing the same. :FF: _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
