And you then wrote another very long post. We really don't need another
one.
Well, I'm glad you're never hostile to anyone else either, Adam.
I did not say those posts were written here (they were blog posts linked
in and people were urged to read it) and I do also not intend to start
debating, I was just cleaning up old email and I ran across this, and
just felt I needed to finish that. Alright?
I am also unsubscribing because the bug reports (are they part of
debian-devel?) are too much of a distraction.
It is also pretty remarkable that by their own actions the ones who want
to stifle a debate or cut short a chain of messages often act in such a
way as to further a new chain of messages to arrive, or arise. By their
rudeness and hostility they often prompt more responses when that was
never the intent of the original poster. Bug reports made out of a bug
report system fall into that category, where they give rise to heated
debate when such was never the intent of the reporter; he or she merely
wanted to pass something along. A report of something that's not working
is then met by hostile responses that question everything that has been
said, when the intent was clearly to provide support, not defamation.
Maybe you should stop thinking the entire world is against you, you
know.
You could also respond with "Well thank you for your opinion, I hope it
is closed that way for now."
Or anything of the kind. But no, you choose hostility.
In any case, regards, and cya <-- go ahead and prove me right, right
now.
*Shakes head*.
