Brian, could you *please* take your rants somewhere else, like opensuse-offtopic? Because they *are* offtopic here.
Philipp
No.
A question was asked about software, which was more or less on-topic enough.
My original response did relate to the question and one of the answers, and about the matter itself, not about the posters.
Subsequent insults to me were off-topic, but I did not commit those. Go yell at them. My defense against those insults will have to stay right where they were committed not off somewhere else.
This post of yours and now my response to it, are actually unwelcome to me also, but they're your fault. If you don't like a certain discussion and want it to end, then I submit that participating in it is rather a stupid method. But I'm just pointing that out so you can better get what you want in the future. I am pointedly nit actually telling you what to say or not say. That would be not only unproductive but uncivil.
Brian please
Put a Sock in it will you . Everything i look at recently you are getting your panties in a bunch because someone says something you dissagree with and it is getting tiresome to put it politely
Or have we moved to the slashdot method of moderation certain people can say what they want no fear others have to tread with feather covered feet

VPPO Very Politely Pi***d Off
Actually you have it exactly backwards.
I may have contrary things to say on technical points, but generally I have no problem with the people saying those things I might have disagreed with. Heck half the time "disagree" is technically too strong a word since generally there is more than one "right" answer.
However I am not the one who takes the technical discussion and turns it personal and non-technical. It is posts like _yours_ that do that. All I do is fail to apologize for things I didn't do. If that infuriates some people well that's just too bad.
Maybe the whole "don't trust google with your life" thing did stray a bit from purely opensuse usage issues. It was relevant to the original question but I'll grant perhaps it didn't require so much emphasis.
Well what of it? I was also all done with that at the end of that post.
Everything since then has been the result of people such as yourself overreacting and "getting your panties in a bunch", being guilty of exactly the thing you're accusing me of.
I had nothing else to say on that topic and I had no personal problem with the person who suggested letting google handle all the syncing. I was raising a point about that suggestion but not strictly attacking it and certainly not attacking them. It was just conversation.
You go ahead and re-read the damned posts and you tell me where the personal attacks start and where the posts start not having anything to do with the original question or indeed anything about opensuse.
Go ahead, do it.
Notice I _still_ haven't tried to tell anyone else what to say or not say. Notice I _still_ have not engaged in the personal bs you and others have.
GIRLS! GIRLS! One should not start spats at "THAT" 'time of the month' which is something you well know after all these years.
Send each other kisses, and if you really want to keep swinging at someone with the handbags then aim them at me, OK?

Not to be hijacking, but I to have issues with this. This is not a Google bashing or any company bashing, there are places at my work that cellphones, (my office) do not work, I have a vacation cabin that I can't get cellphones or internet. To get any work done I need to be able to access my addresses and data, so keeping it "in house" is a requirement for me.
And you cannot install a satellite dish and get communications in this way? But having a vacation cabin, when very few people have this luxury, and not having "cellphone or internet" is nothing which I would be whingeing about. When you plead that you are unable to feed your family and have to choose as to which child of yours is to live or which is to die because you live in Somalia and daily face death from starvation then I may just pay some attention to your complaints.
