I don't want to point people new to Fedora to a list with attitudes like this and to come away with the notion that kind of treatment of people - the dripping sarcasm, personal attacks, trolling - is representative of Fedora. It's not. Maybe it's representative of this list (I haven't been following it long enough to know for sure) but it is most certainly NOT how things are done in Fedora. So yes, a link to list this may not actually be a relevant and helpful link for new users. There is some good rationale above as to why I believe this, and unfortunately the tone of your response provides further support. > Not all of the feedback from this list was unconstructive.

This is an unfair personal attack, and is not constructive especially given the topic of the thread. Please let's talk about making things better, and stop pointing fingers and making accusations. ~m -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
