In what way did you not start it, Antonio? I brought up ancient history
with a few minor well known facts about a conflict in South East Asia
fought between and in a proxy nation between two giants. I noted the
crude similarity between the giants IBM and Microsoft who are known to
hate each other. I noted a crude similarity, in the only sense of being
"proxies in the middle" between SCO and one of the South East Asian
proxies and between Red Hat and the other. Then I made ONE SINGLE
observation with no value judgements, the proxies are the entities that
end up hurting in the end and that I hoped Red Hat was not similarly
going to end up hurting in the end.
I picked the conflict in question because it was recent enough that
most people would know something about it. It was far enough in the
past that 'refighting it' was pointless. Numerous other unfortunate
wars between giants fought by proxies exist through history. I picked
one close to hand to draw the analogy.
You took this as an excuse to launch a political screed about nonsense
not in discussion; and, I slapped you down for the insult. You made it
political. I did not. You are a little too hair trigger when you see
certain names. Your brain disengages and your emotions take over. This
is not a good thing, sir.
I reiterate, proxy entities in a fight between giants tend to get hurt
badly. I hope this is not the case with Red Hat. Now where is the flame
in that? It is merely an observation and a hope for the good of Red Hat.
That latter you didn't even seem to extract from the original message.
You are a disgrace to your teachers and your parents when you lose it
this way.
This is all I intend to say about this silliness. I would recommend
that it be the last you say about it lest you earn a reputation.
