Not true; I noticed immediately (along with Randall). We just have better things to do than spend a lot of time with this. But this time, I'm hoping that you might *hear* this feedback.

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

I agree with this. You simply don't understand (or want to understand) that a lot of your remarks are simply mean-spirited. This diminishes your effectiveness and it gives the list a negative tenor. This is certainly not good advertising for the linux community and for SuSE specifically. You are argumentative for the sheer sake of argument.

But flaming people who do something wrong or who just have a different opinion is counterproductive for this community.

Precisely. This applies to *any* social interaction.
My usual choice is to simply ignore your input on a thread when I see that it has evolved from linux to rant. I wish others would take that approach; I suspect you would stop ranting if you received no reinforcement.
