Stop this, Carlos. This is a direct personal attack and hence completely unacceptable.
*I* did not read it as a personal attack. Lest we forget, English is not Carlos' primary language.
Nobody is telling you to shut up just like that, and you know this. It's exactly what the ban on the forums was about. And the previous ones.
That's exactly how I read the board message: as Carlos did. A shut up we don't want to hear you.
Same here.
Honestly, I believe the thread for the reply was ill-chosen. I'm pretty sure there's a context or thread in which Carlos comes out argumentative and disruptive, but IMHO, this thread isn't the context. And since I haven't read the other threads, in my view, it's the board the one bullying Carlos.
Again I agree, though I can understand disparate interpretations.
Sure, maybe the bug report was misplaced. But the board's reactions, in isolation, are completely disproportionate.
+1 I see this business of actively keeping it friendly and productive, while conceptually valid, coming off in practice as misplaced micromanagement, common fallout in a world in which authoritarian regulation continues to grow, and freedom continues to erode. IMO, laissez faire is very strongly preferred policy. If Carlos' _overall_ behavior has truly passed the boundary between acceptable and unacceptable that warrants banning, I missed it. I agree that some of Carlos' behavior has pushed the envelope of tolerability and warrants induced adjustment; but, I also empathize with where I suspect it's probably coming from. I'm less than thrilled with the way openSUSE has been evolving, and see a future that holds an ominous prospect of painful changes, including divorce. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
