Regardless of how you perceive things, and I do use this forum in conjunction with work, there's been some nasty, intemperate, piling on going on here of late, and that's not just on the list-member we're discussing now. You complain that this stuff is getting in the way of work -- you're in this biz, it's a simple fix - send the posts from people you don't like to the appropriate bin, or delete them, or if you open one by accident, don't read it, and as a grownup, I'm sure you can think of more solutions. There's no excuse for some of the nastiness I've seen lately, as far as I'm concerned, and I shall continue to express myself equally forcefully on that issue. I don't wish to be list-cop, and never attempt to tell anyone what they can and can't say -- but, if someone becomes boorish, I will say so. I'm not defending Karl, he's shown himself quite capable of taking care of himself. I'm expressing my views forcefully about certain behavior -- I don't expect everyone to respond to my predilections -- but things did get a little nicer for awhile. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
