As I tried to tell you already, the members of the community are not barbarians, as you want to describe them. They're fair guys, usually experienced with openSUSE and Linux, who try to help people who asks question and look for help. My experience, and the experience of many others, is contrary to your testimonial.
[OFF-TOPIC] (sorry) How many? Could you list some name of those barbarians and quotes where someone who was really insulted or attacked?
A fair person allows another to state his opinion freely without swearing at him, calling him names, or using vulgar sexual expletives particularly in defiance to the sensibilities and suggestions of *many* other participants.
Names were never used for what I remember. I again ask for examples, quotes, name of authors. You're making serious accusations, so you must have good profs.
No, some are not fair, and some are most certainly barbarians. The question is one of perception anyway... and perception my friend is 99% of the game--- do opensuse project participants and leaders want a barbarian perception in the fair and free market place of ideas--- as it pertains to the success or failure of opensuse? Think about it.
What you don't understand is that the success of openSUSE is bound to its quality, not to some words said on a mailing list. I would really love to let developers work on software (and they're working hard, it's quite evident), and let this hypothetical marketing (real marketing is something else) stuff out.
I think an honest and forthright adherence to the Guiding Principles will go a long way in correctly this misunderstanding of perception.
Human communication is made of perception too, there is nothing to correct about that.
