Sheesh man, I'm not calling for a ban on anyone, but give Niall a break. Niall
is one of the most helpful people I've ever met online. Mark comes in here and
says "Struts is dead" and calls everyone faggots, etc., ad nauseum. He might
behave that way on many lists, but all of us who don't know him don't know
that, and we're not used to it. It doesn't bother me what people say in
general, but if it bothers Niall, and Joe, then suddenly it bothers me too.
These guys work too hard -- for us (at least partially for us). This list is
supposed to be about volunteering -- providing support for Struts. If I was a
new user and I walked into this list yesterday, I'd be saying to myself, how
can Struts really be any good (or worth it) if this is what it's like to hang
out in the community? The committers don't deserve that. It's just a matter of
showing respect for others. I wouldn't come into your house and purposely grind
mud into your carpet. This is not the Internet at-large, this is the Apache
Struts-user list.
Independent thought and trolling aren't the same in my opinion. I'm still not
for a ban on anyone, but if the committers (who do all the work) are bothered,
whose side are you on? How sucky would this list *really* be if those guys (and
all the other guys and gals who volunteer help every day) went away, and left
us with nothing but a mail version of IRC?

Well, IMO, the funny part of them is that 50% are accurate and valid.
So, do we now ban people whose opinions do not match ours because they
are "disruptive"?
Great way to build up the community Niall - ban independent thought.
