No, it's not. It is juvenile, and if it doesn't constructively advance the discussion, needlessly inflames hostile sentiment. > I prefer to do it in private, but it is good to have some of the > discussions in public: I believe it strengthens the project by > giving developers a common target, instead of hurting each other in > internal fights. I disagree completely. It weakens the project, by encouraging puerile behaviour no better than poking an anthill. To remain strong, a community needs to deprecate such behaviour, not encourage it. Far better to keep those discussions outside the context of a Debian discussion forum, if they need to happen at all, instead of playing games that require attacks upon others. Please stop making the situation worse. If you want a way for people to let off steam, find a way to do it that doesn't involve treating anyone as a “target”. -- \ “Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe | `\ or we are not.
