Both you and cbagger are (from what I've seen) highly regarded here on this forum... As LEADERS both of you should try to hold yourselves to higher standard as doing so only helps promote DSL and Linux overall, and NOT doing so only helps ruin DSL's reputation (which in turn hurts John and Roberts hard work)... Even if you do hold some resentment towards those who ask... If you have any respect for John and Roberts work; you wouldn't take the chance of hurting their work's reputation.
Please re-read my above paragraph, because no matter how many ways you try to justify sarcastic comments. The above statement WILL ALWAYS HOLD TRUE!
| Quote | | This is precisely what the community does, and it does it pretty damn well. You seem to have latched onto one single comment in one thread that was never intended for users or newcomers. |
Again back to an earlier post of mine... Those type of comments, whether to express solidarity or not. Simply do not belong on a public message board for the above reasons.
| Quote | | It's part of being human, and if a person cannot accept that and deal with it, that person may need a good thwacking with a Big Foam Cluebat. |
Would Microsoft take that attitude with a mass of potential customers? (Before you or anyone flame about bad comparisons read on).
Chances are 99.9999999% no.
Microsoft grosses literally Billions in revenue every year.
I don't think that they got there by allowing an off-color remark stand out for public eyes to see, or even ignore users... Perhaps it may have happened on the occasion, but it doesn't happen continually.
Yet on this forum, I have seen quite a few off-color remarks in addition to unanswered posts.
Why is his important to DSL?
Well, maybe just maybe John and Roberts would like to make money with DSL beyond selling pen-drives, CD's and ITX systems.
Reputation goes a long way towards making that happen.
And as I have pointed out... It is easy for the masses to ruin that by not thinking before posting.
This is not about one simple thread. This is about a respected leader on this online community doing something that goes a long way to damage what this online community is all about.
Touche regarding the search link... However, if I missed it and I've been lurking around this forum for quite some time now (Yes even long before I started posting here). Then does it not stand to reason that others may have missed it as well?.. Perhaps a small facelift (such as a higher contrast for that link) could make it pop out for newcomers and save you some posting.
Lastly, for all who wish to pick at the 'troll' some more (which I take troll as a compliment)... Why do you still continue to prove my original point by trying to distract my topic to your own self-justifying topics or self interpretations of word definitions? All you're really accomplishing is proving my comments about rude behavior even more so...
Is trying to make me look like I don't know what I'm talking about so important that you would be willing to continue damaging DSL's reputation?.. Perhaps then, I was right about the 'holier-than-thou, almighty guru' mentality all along...
If so, then keep on. So that my words will stand as an example of what a Linux forum should be
