I think it matters not if anyone agrees or disagrees with your views. While all religions may be fair game, I think the point is that the opensuse list is a mailing list devoted to the discussions of issues related to Linux in general and opensuse in particular. I believe that the community at large discourages (for good reason) the overt declaration of options related to religion, politics, etc.
My content here has NOTHING to do with anything but openSUSE or related issues, software, etc. A sig. is a sig. is a sig.....NOT content.
FWIW, I am also an American. I realize that my 1st Amendment rights don't extend beyond the shores of the US. I also realize that my rights aren't absolute and expressing my views may not be without consequence...e.g. libel
I've quoted a vast number of well-known people. Libel? I don't think so!!
Above you said...."Oh well, there are other distros." While there are other distros, their mailing lists have much the same guidelines. The signature you used would have been greeted with similar dissent on the Fedora list.
There is a time and place for everything.
I have no interest in Fedora. My sigs have been on other disto. lists with NO comments.

I sent my message to you offlist since, IMHO, this belongs offlist. I should have made that clear. FWIW, anything that you include in your email is "content". It is part of what you send...and you are responsible for everything you send.

I did not say you have libel anyone. I said "free speech" doesn't mean you can't be found "libel". My comment is not related to what you've said thus far..but simply illustrates the limits of "free speech".

I only used "Fedora" as an example. In any event, all of this should have remained on the "off list"....and how I intended my comments to remain. I'm sorry you felt the need to bring it public as I am equally sorry for not having made it clear in my email to you. Feel "free" to respond "off list" as it is my request that you not continue to post my off list comments on list. -- 葛斯克 愛德華 / 台北市八德路四段 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
