To me, a program is an object, not a person, and it can do a good job, or a bad job. It is just a description of facts, not a judging on the people that made the tool. I'm not saying that a person did an horrible job. An tool did.
Just to be clear: my irritation is with the people that created such a document in a proprietary, non published, format. Not with the wonderful people that created LibreOffice, OpenOffice, StarOffice...
Carlos,
I'm writing on behalf of the openSUSE Board, who have responsibility for resolving conflicts and to facilitate healthy communication within the Project
Having monitored your behaviour on these Mailinglists and Forums we are increasingly concerned of the following trends in your behaviour:
* Argumentative tone and manner, especially with active contributors * Repeated Negative disparagement of other contributions and contributors * High volume of posts, very often on topics which you clearly are not heavily involved or informed in (ie. Generating lots of 'noise' on these lists for little content) * Threats/Claims you intend to stop contributing in response to other contributions and the general direction of the project.
We feel this behaviour is inconsistent with the Guiding principles of the project. It does not follow the concepts of collaboration, quality, and respect we want to see, and indeed we are concerned that the repeated and very high volume nature of your behaviour is actively discouraging and diminishing the enthusiasm and activity of our contributors
We recognise you were recently banned from the openSUSE Forums for similar issues, and have noticed how your activity has dramatically increased on the mailinglist since that action was taken by our Forum team.
Therefore, the Board is taking this exceptional action of giving you this final, formal, warning
Please change your tone, manner, and dramatically reduce the 'noise' you generate on these lists, or we will be forced to ban you from all openSUSE lists and forums.
We do not take such actions lightly, and would normally do our best to avoid intervening in this issue in this manner, but after seeing plenty of attempts from several contributors to address your behaviour directly to you, with no effect, we feel we have no alternative.
Regards,
The openSUSE Board
