I agree with this. You simply don't understand (or want to understand) that a lot of your remarks are simply mean-spirited. This diminishes your effectiveness and it gives the list a negative tenor. This is certainly not good advertising for the linux community and for SuSE specifically. You are argumentative for the sheer sake of argument.

Precisely. This applies to *any* social interaction.
My usual choice is to simply ignore your input on a thread when I see that it has evolved from linux to rant. I wish others would take that approach; I suspect you would stop ranting if you received no reinforcement.

You are a knowledgeable person. You are also an intelligent person. But clearly, the way you treat other people just sucks.

But flaming people who do something wrong or who just have a different opinion is counterproductive for this community.
