And my fellow lizards. Maybe we have forgotten, but let me reassure you: We are supposed to chase off people that don't contribute anything to our community and think they can come here and make us feel bad about what we do.
Just let it slide.... The more attention put onto such, the more damage will be done... Everybody has the right of an own oppinion, as we all do. An opiniion will not be able to destroy work, as long as you/we/us will not tolerate it to do so..
That's the thing, I think that letting it slide has come to the point where it hurts our project more than it helps. I'm perfectly aware that this is aggravating but I think we have to stress this.
And yes everyone has the right to an opinion but that does not mean you have the right to voice it. If I walk by someone on the street who wears a pink shirt and too much cologne I don't say to them "You stink and the way you dress, awful!" just because I think so.
If we don't they will slowly destroy what we have build in the last couple of years and we can't let that happen! It can't be that people loose the nerve to participate because they constantly have to take shit on our own communication channels.
I myself also do not understand why ppl keep shitting all over other ppl...(but i've seen on the internet that there are ppl who seem to rely like it, to shit on other ppl, and to be shit on.. ;-)
True, but opensuse-project is not the internet. Its the communication medium of the people who work on openSUSE. Time to take it back!
I personally have a "blocked senders" label where some members of this thread are included. I usually ignore their mails as they are mostly one-issue people like mono-phobiacs, msft-opposers, anti-novell-ites, prefix-gnu-ers, etc. I also have sender based labels, which I make sure to read always (AJ, board members, boosters etc.) Gmail gives the freedom for unlimited number of filters. However, if you feel the project is getting spammed by trolls, and hurts the project, the only solution that I could think of is to limit mails to opensuse-project to only 3 mails per person per day, if you are not one of the packagers/developers/bug-reporters. I know it is not a perfect solution and has some loop holes (what if one of the developers is a troller etc.) but unless we have such AI restrictions built, we will be spammed, as the world is filled with people who are opinionated and love to talk, without doing any contribution ;-) -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
