Any question that more than one person has about a Linux related issue that is answered on this mailing list is valuable. Openly attacking me on list when I cannot respond on list without being accused of hostile behavior is extremely rude and unacceptable. Is to be any semblance of professionalism in this community at all? I have been silent for days, but still people are attacking me on list with arguably little to no provocation at this point so that I have to speak out against it. Offering help if I do not know the issue well enough to give reasonable let alone correct advice is not help by the way. Nowhere in the terms of use for this list does it say that I am aware of, "you cannot ask for help if you do not give help to others." That people have to go after divisive threads that are over 10 years old to accuse me of having a, "history of hostility," is ridiculous. I am not hostile towards Keith, I am hostile towards calling God a woman on list. I stand by my comment that I hope Linus converts to some form of religion. Believing in God makes it easier to accept God. Aceepting that which one does not believe is probably the hardest thing to do, yet for the believer, it is no trouble at all. For those who totally reject God, there is only Hell. Every thread that answers a question about a Linux or OSS related topic is a good thread for this list. This thread does not pass this test and frankly, it needs to die. If answering the questions of all but certain people, people who agree with you on everything, is offensive to you, this list is not for you. If you can't agree to disagree and instead decide to openly attack a person who has been silent for days, you are not affecting this list in a good way. Does anyone honestly think that I want to see attack posts from this list in my inbox day after day, week after week? I don't. The statement that I am hostile towards this list is NOT a fair statement. I have been hostile towards only political/religious statements which are technically not acceptable list material in the first place. I have never been hostile towards people helping each other use Linux more effectively. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
