If no one is interested the thread dies out on its own. However, let if someone has something to say let them. The people who reply/comment *want* to talk about it. No one forces anyone to *read* the thread. Just ignore it. It's that simple. Going as far as threatening to ban a user for commenting negatively or positively or. even "off-topic" (this is relative, e.g., I found the discussion on the strengths& weaknesses of ubuntu/centos/redhat el interesting& in some cases informative as the various issues were debated). I would think that there's nothing wrong with allowing people the freedom to discuss centos-related stuff on the centos list. As I mentioned earlier it's as simple as ignoring a thread if don't like it. There's no need to flame, ban or go on a rant just because someone says s

Hi Errol.
It is not about freedom of speech. We passed that threshold months ago.
Note that complaining and warning have only started after 10 days of
non-stop discussion and almost *90* messages! I found discussion
interesting, but *up to a point*.
It stopped being interesting only after *repeated* statements. And this
argument goes back several months back in various threads. Also, those
"Ubuntu is better" statements are mostly written by same 5-8 people,
over and over again, always saying the same thing. *That* is what is
tiresome.
There are countless mailing list and forums available and open for "beat
a dead horse" games. All some of us asked is that they do not play those
loud games in front of *our* bedroom windows.
I hope this clears it up a little.
