As a global moderator of the openSUSE forums: Jim's description here is a very accurate one. This is not an incident that got out of hand, not a matter of bullying by Board or whatever entity within the community, not just a matter of language differences, it's the result of an ongoing situation that needed dealing with. The step we took by invoking a temporary ban was not taken lightly, in general bans are only invoked if the entire Forums Team sees no other options.
I also would like to apologize for my "Stop this, Carlos..." public post on this list. Simply because such posts don't belong here IMHO.
Thanks. Let me state first that what is said here about what I may have done in the forums is news to me. The forum banning was done in secret, without warning to me, and without due process. I had no chance at all to say anything. Then, I'm not aware of having molested anyone. My personal view of the situation was that I had some opinions, strong opinions, perhaps, and some forum staff thought I was very wrong, got tired of discussing with me, and shut me up by banning me. Censorship, IMHO, instead of having lively discussions. For instance, someone remonstrated me for recommending a user that could not run graphics mode to login as root in text mode, then issuing startx, for diagnosis only. ;-) A minute later, I was banned. :-o :-? However, I have silently accepted the ruling and said nothing about it anywhere. The forum have their rules, so be it. And I don't understand why what I may have done in the forums should be used to attack me here in the mail lists. I was thus very surprised when Richard started mentioning my issues with the forums, in the middle of a technical discussion. My understanding, maybe wrong, I hope to be wrong, is that Richard hates me because I contrariate him in technical issues and he wants me to shut up, using personal arguments, wanting me to be banned from any openSUSE discussion avenue. He doesn't want in openSUSE people that do not think like him. I'm sorry, but he doesn't have proper "bedside manners" (is that the proper expression in English?) in handling people and calming them. I think he should step down. Sorry for saying this here. I never intended to vent my feelings, but the board has started the war against me, in public. I'm willing to try moderate my language, or correct my manners if people explain politely and kindly what I do wrong. I'm Spanish, and we are hot blooded, temperamental. It doesn't mean that we hate our opponents. Here, we can say lovingly to some one that he is a son of a whore, and it is not an insult, but an endearment. Depends. But if we are really insulted or bullied about, we don't react nicely. I'm not having fun. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
