Re: Code of conduct (was: low graphics mode)



OK Leonard - as long as we are complaining about each others methods of
replying, your replies are all mucked up - not sure if it will come through
below but I'm leaving the original message in tact with hopes it does. But
your replies come through in such a manner that it is impossible to
distinguish what you've written from what you are replying to. It seems you
have WYSIWYG email features turned on, which really mucks things up for
others.

So, respectfully, please switch to plain text

Your attitude and method of posting doesn't help people trying to glean
something from the list that may help them to enjoy Ubuntu better. A review
of the C of C is in order. Have a great day.



I'm really not sure why there is a problem here - not all relevant
comments will necessarily be in reply to a particular comment from someone
else. I believe that was the case with my message in question. It was not
a reply to any specific email in this thread, yet I believe it was still
potentially of interest - another data point is all.

Whom should I have quoted?

Or do you disagree that it was of interest here?

And I'm not really sure which part of the C o C I've violated. Please be
more specific. In fact, I believe a number of people on this list need to
review the C o C and in particular :

"Be respectful. The Ubuntu community and its members treat one another with
respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Ubuntu. We may not
always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor
manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we
cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack"


Both NoOp and I were trying to point out that we had no idea of what you
were refering to as there was no reference to anything, except the
title<subject>.. The C of C of which I refered was concerning how one
replies to a post leaving attributions and quoting what you are replying to
and snipping any irrelevant parts. But you snipped everything making it
hard to follow any train of thought. If that doesn't explain it then I am
incapable of doing it
HTH,
