Please consider this: - Often people replying are doing so quickly/in a rush, so replies are often short and abrupt - A large number of people on this list have English as a second, third or fourth language (or more), so sometimes what may sound OK to them comes across as horribly rude - This is an international list and if you have any experience with English in other cultures, you soon observe that what is good natured jibes or teasing in one version is a horrible insult in others (I see this a lot in my travels from one English speaking nation to another). - In any group of one or more people there will always be someone who is a bully or rude. You either get upset - which is what they usually are looking for - or you just ignore it and let it slide. The noisy ones get bored and leave. - It's the internet.. you can't exist here and have a "thin skin" - People are dividing their time between personal life, work life and openSUSE... the resulting stress sometimes that causes them to be a bit more snippy than they normally are or intend to be - Some people ask the same question over and over, or a group have a sense of self-entitlement, and it gets old. Seeing a constant stream of "you're all idiots" gets tiresome and people give grumpy replies. So... you let it bother you and get upset like this thread is showing, or you ignore it. Personally.. I find ignoring the grumpy people is the best solution. Oh, and considering openSUSE 12.1 as "officially dead" is a real shame. It has a few teething pains, but it's a darned good release - give it another week for the gurus to beat back the post release bugs, and then try it again... you will (hopefully) be quite surprised at just how nice this release is.... and the core of the supporters here do a great job of trying to get openSUSE out, and support it on mailing lists, forums IRC etc etc. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
