When that happens the ML begins to fail because of the actions of a few. I joined this ML in an attempt to give back to the commuinity some of the small knowledge i have by way of helping others with basic issue's they have, but the people i have turned on to Arch have seen this here & have stated they wont bother with the ML as it appears to be just flame wars!!!!!!!!!!! Whether you feel your argument was justified or not is mute when a support channel becomes a troll & flamme fest hence why the dev's left. all i see here recently are rants on rants which really should be taken else where.
