Please, mr Philip Rhoades,

Obviously you are not capable to realise what you are up to.

All australians I have had the pleasure to meet, have been sympatic, 
intelligent,


polite, well educated and in every way kind persons.

From your writings the only conclusion is that you represent the 
outmostopposite end of


these qualities. No wonder there are wars in the world.

Stop behaving like a lowminded complete idiot.

At least you could from your signature delete your address – that you 
are from Australia!


Best regards

Pertti Rönnberg, 76 yrs/ Finland

Irrelevant - the OP was proselytising and offensive by posting a sermon

Sadly, your insistence on belaboring this by insulting everyone who
suggests a more tolerant approach, lacks such common courtesy.



No discourtesy, just making the point that needed to be made and then

Speaking more pragmatically, I find it ironically interesting that, in
defending your position, you draw even more attention to the very
proselytizing to which you object, by quoting, in full, Nasrim's
original message (which I had long forgot).

the holy quran encourages his followers to appreciate kindness of

reply them better or returnthere goodness and do good with the same.
And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with a better

As someone else pointed out - this was NOT a signature - it was a

​This will be my first and LAST message on this thread, for obvious reason.

The fact that one did something, someone else replied, or attacked, or
whatever, can happen. Once it has been pointed out that it is really,
clearly, without ambiguity, completely, totally and utterly (enough
superlatives yet?) offtopic for the list, it should stop.
If someone feels the need to have the final word in this discussion, do a
favor to *everyone else*, remove the users@global.libreoffice.org address
from your mails on this subject and deal with it like grownups. The fact
that multiple people keep sending mass replies so out of the scope of the
list is way more aggravating than whatever the topic is.

EoT for me.

You call it 'pointing out logical, childish errors', which is just
megalomaniacal, condescending and insulting gobbledy-speak for 'I am
your superior, bow down and worship me, little children, as I am
all-knowing'.

That is not the definition of an atheist, nor is it what you are claiming.

Again, talking to yourself... tisk, tisk...

You - and atheists - claim that 'there is no god'. That is much
different than saying 'I do not see enough evidence to support the
claim, therefore I choose not to 'believe'.' That is an agnostic.

So... who needs a dictionary?

*If* your argument was on point, you would be correct, but since all you
rebutted was a strawman, it is not that I need a dictionary, what is
needed is for you to gain a few ounces of humility and respect for others.

Strawman, see above...

More condescending and insulting strawman-speak - I haven't seen anyone
other than you say anything about sky fairies...

That said, there are many non-religious scientists who are profoundly
interested in just how amazing and - 'miraculous' - life is. Maybe it is
all just one big happy accident... and maybe it isn't. But I'll ask you...

Who the F are you to tell someone else which one it is?

> Get a life . . and some lessons in English, logic and rational thinking

Again, it is really embarrassing watching you talk to yourself like
this. Maybe you should see someone...

Ok, I'm done, you are now PLONKED, so respond away if you feel you must
get the past word, I won't see it, so I'm sure it'll give a big fuzzy
wet-n-warm one...

with tolerance.  However, it is true, I have no tolerance for people who

Gentlemen,

Please take your philosophical discussion elsewhere. It is wildly off 
topic here, as this is a mailing list dedicated to supporting users of 
LibreOffice.


Thank you,

Charles.

Phil,

Setting aside religion, superstition, and science, (and LO) may I humbly 
suggest that you might benefit from a lesson in common courtesy and 
respect, which all men and women are due, regardless of their beliefs or 
whether they choose to express them in a way that others find 
inappropriate.


Sadly, your insistence on belaboring this by insulting everyone who 
suggests a more tolerant approach, lacks such common courtesy.


Speaking more pragmatically, I find it ironically interesting that, in 
defending your position, you draw even more attention to the very 
proselytizing to which you object, by quoting, in full, Nasrim's 
original message (which I had long forgot). Were I you, I might label 
such a tactic, "clueless." But, I'm not, so I won't for even you deserve 
our courtesy and respect.

What you are doing is attacking, even insulting people who believe
differently from you by calling their belief system 'superstition',
rather than the normal term, 'religion'.

Atheism is just as much a 'superstition' - per your meaning - as any
other religion. Atheists simply choose to have 'faith' in the belief
that everything in the world today is just there by some random accident
of nature.

So, Philip, how about coming down off your high horse, and LET IT GO.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: question about the best version of libreoffice - MY God is better!

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Phil, i know you think you probably think you are just an atheist and
acting reasonably but this topic didn't arise in all the years that we
have seen Christian messages in various people's signatures.  The
discussion only arose after the only Islamic quote in all these years.

This has happened at a time when it's popular to attack Muslims for
their faith, and for the stereotypes pushed out by mainstream media to
demonise and vilify Muslims.

Ridiculing religions in general might seem reasonable but choosing to
do so right now, only after the first Islamic quote in a signature and
not in any of the previous several years of Christian quotes (and
hundreds of them) is Islamaphobic.

It has been good to see people on this mailing-list increasingly make
a stand against the increasing level of Islamaphobia in this thread -
even people who don't understand or don't agree with Islam.  In my
opinion standing with someone who seems to be being given a hard-time
by 'the mainstream' is FAR more impressive than just taking cheap
opportunistic pot-shots that are

LibreOffice and the OpenDocument Format are making a stand against the
mainstream and although the tide may be beginning to turn for us i am
sure we can all remember moments where mainstream-people have done or
said things, without even realising it, that are extremely pro-MSO and
their ever-changing, unreliable formats.


Please can we drop this topic and get on with the questions at hand?
Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: question about the best version of libreoffice - MY God is better!

[Virgil Arrington]

Chill, Phil.

I can't believe the level of antagonism coming through your keyboard. 
I'm "clueless" for not knowing Nasrin's gender? Harsh, man. While I have 
many contacts with Muslims from around the world, I had never heard the 
name Nasrin before and recalled nothing in her emails that betrayed her 
gender.


If choosing to love people, regardless of my knowledge of their gender, 
is an agenda, then I suppose I have an agenda. I'm genuinely surprised 
that my decision to love a Muslim I've never met upsets you so much that 
you feel it necessary to accuse me of having "low general knowledge" and 
being "clueless." Where does such a miserable world view come from?


I won't use the LO list to advance my views of Christianity. I use other 
lists for that, where it is admittedly more appropriate. But, I reserve 
the right to come to the defense of another who has been unfairly 
attacked for what she happened to put in her signature line. (I'll 
blindly accept your assertion that Nasrin is female.)  I felt your 
attack unwarranted and unworthy of a gentlemen, regardless of your 
religious views.


Sorry, Tom, I had to respond to Phil, and I felt I had to do it on list.

I'll let it go, now.

"loves" someone else but does not even know that the person they 
"love" is a "she" and not a "he" . . clueless . .

Hi :)
Phil, i know you think you probably think you are just an atheist and
acting reasonably but this topic didn't arise in all the years that we
have seen Christian messages in various people's signatures.  The
discussion only arose after the only Islamic quote in all these years.



It certainly was not the first - but it should be the last.



This has happened at a time when it's popular to attack Muslims for
their faith, and for the stereotypes pushed out by mainstream media to
demonise and vilify Muslims.

Ridiculing religions in general might seem reasonable but choosing to
do so right now, only after the first Islamic quote in a signature and
not in any of the previous several years of Christian quotes (and
hundreds of them) is Islamaphobic.



No, superstitionphobic . .



It has been good to see people on this mailing-list increasingly make
a stand against the increasing level of Islamaphobia in this thread -
even people who don't understand or don't agree with Islam.  In my
opinion standing with someone who seems to be being given a hard-time
by 'the mainstream' is FAR more impressive than just taking cheap
opportunistic pot-shots that are



People should not be proselytising on this list - period.  To hijack my 
intention as "Islamaphobia" is childish . .




LibreOffice and the OpenDocument Format are making a stand against the
mainstream and although the tide may be beginning to turn for us i am
sure we can all remember moments where mainstream-people have done or
said things, without even realising it, that are extremely pro-MSO and
their ever-changing, unreliable formats.



OK, but I don't what that has to do with the legitimacy of people 
proselytising on a technical list.




Please can we drop this topic and get on with the questions at hand?



Sure - but I will still respond as I originally did if I come across 
more proselytising (by anyone) . . it is inappropriate and offensive and 
should not be condoned or encouraged.

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I feel really bad now, that you seem to be forced into defending
yourself.  And Virgil needing to defend himself doubtless with others
on all sides feeling more and more pushed into defending their views
or beliefs.

A belief-system that defines all other's beliefs as being
"superstitions" sounds alarmingly intolerant to me.  Anyone who thinks
that everyone who disagrees with their own belief is "clueless" seems
to me to be scarily arrogant, to me.  But that is just my own personal
belief and i'd probably defend individuals who felt the need to
postulate alternatives, in a discussion (but preferably not on this
mailing list because, as we all seem to agree, this is probably not
the place for it).

As someone, who i believe was amazing, once said "An eye for an eye
and the whole world goes blind".

Regards from
Tom :)

How naive are you?  Of course it is proselytising! - why else would that 
sort of nonsense be in a signature?  All superstitious and political 
organisations depend on increasing their numbers, otherwise they die as 
organisations - it is just marketing - and it is objectionable.

demean another's faith, as Phil's diatribe does.



My "diatribe" is just as valid and provable as Nasrim's diatribe or 
nonsense . .




In my opinion, Nasrin has a perfect right to express his personal
beliefs anywhere he chooses, including on this list, if it is not the
subject of the post.



I think you will find Nasrim is a "she" - so much for your general 
knowledge - but I am not surprised . . it is as useful as your opinion .

MY God is Jibbers Crabst and was revealed to the world in a great
sermon by the Muchly High Priest and First Prophet, Matt Inman:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ_BtZ-5O60

Jibbers is a fire-breathing lobster who lives behind the rings of
Saturn.  Jibbers is THE ONE TRUE GOD and replaces all previous false
gods.  Everyone who is believer in other false gods should immediately
repent of their mistaken beliefs and adore and commit their lives to
Jibbers - our Lord and Saviour.

The Yankee People are the chosen people of Jibbers (see the sermon for
details - I am Australian BTW but that does not affect my belief in
Jibbers as the ONE TRUE GOD) and will dwell forever in The House of
Jibbers.

If you do not see the light and immediately switch your belief from
your false gods to Jibbers, the soldiers and children of Jibbers,
giant Bombardier Beetles, will rise up and send flaming balls down all
of your unbelieving throats for the rest of eternity!  After that
eternity, giant Brazilian Wandering Spiders will inject you all with
venom that will cause more pain than is imaginable for another
eternity!

So Nasrin, and others, repent of your erroneous faiths and before it
is too late, pledge your lives to the ONE TRUE GOD - Jibbers Crabst!
and be saved from eternal pain and damnation!  and live with Jibbers
forever around the most beautiful planet in the Solar system!

Have a nice day.

Phil.

I tend to agree about signature lines. They can contain all kinds of
things having nothing to do with LO. Sometimes they're funny;



That would be fine . .

times they are informative about the writer. Phil's signature line
includes his address in Australia, which is informative, but has
nothing to do with LO. Nasrin's signature line includes a a few lines
about his Muslim faith,

I pretty much ignore signature lines, and I can't possibly imagine
being offended by one, regardless of what it might say.

And there we have it - another person who has an agenda - they can't 
criticise someone else for proselytising their superstitious nonsense 
because they have their own superstitious nonsense . . a person who 
"loves" someone else but does not even know that the person they "love" 
is a "she" and not a "he" . . clueless . .

Please note that the original message by Nasrin was on a topic germane to
this list. One member with an excessively tender sore spot objected to
something in Nasrin's signature that expressed his sincerely held faith.
There was no intent on Nasrin's part to proselytize or to demean another's
faith, as Phil's diatribe does.

In my opinion, Nasrin has a perfect right to express his personal beliefs
anywhere he chooses, including on this list, if it is not the subject of
the post.

 Many people on this mailing list have had signatures that include

Interesting how the least relevant null topics trigger the most

O people! there has come to you indeed an admonition from your Lord
and a healing for what is in the breasts and a guidance and a mercy
for the believers.
Say: In the grace of Allah and in His mercy-- in that they should
rejoice; it is better than that which they gather.
holy quran, chapter 10.

Since it appears that it is OK to proselytise on this list I will tell 
you about MY God - who is better than your gods (since your gods don't 
really exist):


MY God is Jibbers Crabst and was revealed to the world in a great sermon 
by the Muchly High Priest and First Prophet, Matt Inman:


  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ_BtZ-5O60

Jibbers is a fire-breathing lobster who lives behind the rings of 
Saturn.  Jibbers is THE ONE TRUE GOD and replaces all previous false 
gods.  Everyone who is believer in other false gods should immediately 
repent of their mistaken beliefs and adore and commit their lives to 
Jibbers - our Lord and Saviour.


The Yankee People are the chosen people of Jibbers (see the sermon for 
details - I am Australian BTW but that does not affect my belief in 
Jibbers as the ONE TRUE GOD) and will dwell forever in The House of 
Jibbers.


If you do not see the light and immediately switch your belief from your 
false gods to Jibbers, the soldiers and children of Jibbers, giant 
Bombardier Beetles, will rise up and send flaming balls down all of your 
unbelieving throats for the rest of eternity!  After that eternity, 
giant Brazilian Wandering Spiders will inject you all with venom that 
will cause more pain than is imaginable for another eternity!


So Nasrin, and others, repent of your erroneous faiths and before it is 
too late, pledge your lives to the ONE TRUE GOD - Jibbers Crabst! and be 
saved from eternal pain and damnation!  and live with Jibbers forever 
around the most beautiful planet in the Solar system!


Have a nice day.

Phil.
