But if someone doesn't "get it" after that, it's okay to let the matter drop. In fact, it's the best thing to do. This is _particularly_ true when the person responding isn't doing so with a good attitude. When, as you say, people are heating the discussion, the best way to cool it down is to not throw fuel. You can't educate people who aren't interested in listening, and they're generally not the people making decisions anyway. In fact, it makes the situation worse because it makes it drives away people who might agree with you -- or be convinced. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
