What part of 'quit top-posting!' strikes you as more adult than 'quit hectoring!'?

Stop the invasion of xenophobic maniacs?
If that's what you call ragheads who want to kill anyone who isn't believing in their "religion of peace", yeah, stop them from crossing borders.
No, I don't call the adherents of any major religion, nor any race, "ragheads", and perhaps you should consider following me in that. It may have escaped your attention, but this is an international list intended for an international readership and I'm sure you wouldn't want unintentionally to hurt anyone's feelings. But for the benefit of those of us unfamiliar with your terminology, perhaps you could define that group in terms we might find in a dictionary?

Splendid, well that's a point by point refutation of any arguments I presented
and no mistake. If only more people had your brevity of critical thought!
Presumably your edition of the Gettysburg address would read
'"Kill the guys in grey suits!"

Whoa now. Listen both of you, this is not an "argue about religion and / or politics" list so someone just drop it (whichever of you considers himself / herself the better person). I would not recommend answering that last question. While I perfectly understand that he is talking about Terrorists, and in a way I find unwise, I also don't think they worry about "hurting" anyone's feelings. So, lets just allow each other to believe and/or speak, as in my country you are free to do either, as he pleases and worry more about SUSE. If you find a particular person's posting habits offensive there are always filters you can use to auto delete his "babblings" or "whining". Thank you. and God bless. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!
Now that this thread has drifted seriously OT I hope this is a last post. There are plenty of lists I am on which are political in nature and I can guarantee you either a good bashing or plenty of communists to bash. For those in Rio Linda California they are called liberals. None of these is for the faint of heart, thin of skin or emotionally infantile. So if you want to get your Irish up see me off list at cwsiv_3rd at hotpop dot com CWSIV

And many people find your line below "Thank you", to be offensive.

I'm sure we could. I am Irish, so it doesn't take too much to have me reaching for my shilelagh. But there's really no need for a fight, my point is exactly yours, let's keep it on topic, and maintain a public archive of Linux related issues, by avoiding overtly political sigs and terms designed to generate hatred. If it's OK with you, it's certainly OK with me. As I've said before, I appear to be the only party to this discussion interested in actually using the sig to put my name and address in. That's because I've nothing to hide and have no political, religious or racial agenda to try to sneak into a Linux self-help group. Nor have I started bandying insulting terminology about. Vent your frustration at those who introduced such terms, not those who asked them to stop doing so.
