Re: [Staffslug] Articles for website.

well as the new member i find it slightly amusing, but also a bit sad too. but then i also found the response from someone when pre- arranged IRC meet was suggested was quite bewildering, something about it not being on their terms LOL. the wonderful thing about linux is you can choose you level of involvement now, you can distro-hop til you find something that is easy as clicking an install button, but then on that very same o/s you can learn exactly whats going on with you system and choose to see things on that level. and i wouldn't be afraid to ask for help on here, but i probably would goto UbuntuForums first, as thats just where i usually go when googling doesn't give any reward simply for the fact that there are so many people on there, so generally you get good rounded answers. also, i much prefer the forum format than mailing lists. sim > Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 13:31:05 +0000 > From: dick_turpin(a)archlinux.us > To: staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk > Subject: Re: [Staffslug] Articles for website. > > Tom Hill wrote: > > So I can see Andrew's frustration, but there's a subtle way to approach > > someone's methods and over-use of the caps lock/exclamation mark isn't it. > > > I will continue to use Caps lock in the vain it is meant, I am neither > for or against anyone but I will not stand by and see deliberate > 'personal' attacks regardless of who's fault it is. > > In my 47 years of experience I have come to the opinion that responses > worded in the manner it was require a firm a response I also view that > post as bullying. > Nobody deserves to be spoken to that way by anyone whatever the reason > and of all places in medium where we are all supposed to be friends > together, nobody pays any money towards it and it is a service offered > to anyone. > > If an idiot (And I'm not saying Kevan is an idiot) is not welcome here > or on any mailing list and cannot be treated in a civil, adult mature > manner then I hope Linux dies tomorrow. > > It makes me sick, everyone was crying two days ago how quiet this list > was things start moving again and look what happens?
