Don't you think the way you behave is a dead giveaway?

or even that there was any REASON for him to ban me.

Think about it. The reason is exactly that behaviour of yours.

Small things add up. While you may be right that every single one of certain
remarks alone might not justify a ban, the constant flow of them for sure
does.


You are a knowledgeable person. You are also an intelligent person. But
clearly, the way you treat other people just sucks.

And as much as the openSUSE community appreciates valuable input from someone
who knows a lot about various aspects of Linux (and also old-time Unix)
systems, there is a limit to anti-social behaviour that such a community can
endure.

Could you just try to stay on the community side of that line?

I know that sometimes that's not simple. There are always people who don't
read FAQs, people who don't read list charters (or who just don't give a
damn), people who are just downright stupid. That's all facts of life.

I keeps confusing me how you as someone who advocates Linux so much OTOH
values the community aspect of it all so little. Linux is all about
community. But flaming people who do something wrong or who just have a
different opinion is counterproductive for this community.

So please, try to have some more patience with those people. Maybe there is a
chance for us to educate them. At least some of them. But when they leave
immediately after receiving a thrashing, the impression they leave with is
something along the lines of "those arrogant Linux SOBs".


Just my (private) 2 cents.
