They take their bloody "present no > options to the users" too far! Idiots! Blatant name calling doesn't make for a constructive debate. I humbly suggest you make an effort to remove the emtionally loaded language when you are trying to make a point. If you want to drag this discussion down into the realm of overly generalized name-calling to a community of people, I'll be more than happy to do this with you in private conversation. Choosing to use this sort of emtional outburt in a public discussion is not helpful and only points out that you are also capable of "going to far" with your overreaching assumption making. I'm not fond of blatant hypocrisy, so please try to keep your over-reaching assumption making about the entire gnome development community out of this discussion. If you have a problem with the decision making, read up on previous discussion about gnome-screesaver and make rational arguments to the upstream developers. There maybe a way forward to change how this works by incorporated per-user configs into GConf for individual screensavers and still have site wide policy without disrupting UI. But you'll have to care enough about the issue to keep your emtions in check and handle yourself maturely in the discussion. Calling the people you are trying to convince to change their minds idiots has a particularly low probability of success especially if you don't have an established working relationship with them as peers. -jef -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
