Why am I the bad guy here?
Because of your wording.
Because I forced those who consider themselves the police of this list to actually say what is and is not on-topic for this list and to use words as they're actually defined in English?
That is so tragic, it is almost funny. At this moment what is on topic has not changed. What is on-topic is still very clear to everybody else, exept apparently you. Do you already understand what a 'community' is?
I did _not_ come to this with any preconceptions nor did I insist one way or another.
Yes, you did. Going on and on and on and on is what I would call 'insisting'.
I did not care what the answer was.
Yes, you did. Otherwise you would not be not happy with the answer.
I was only trying to get a clear statement, and it was like pulling teeth to do so.
You got a statement and you did not like it. That was the reason you kept on going. Seems pretty insiting. Even when you told that one person gave you a satisfying answer, you kept bugging about others not giving the answer you wanted to hear.
Don't worry. I'll not be asking any questions in your private playground,
You already have. The first 7 words of your posting were a question.
whatever you decide to call it and whatever misuse of English you decide to use in describing it.
This is exactly the wording why you are 'the bad guy'. With the above you asume that no good wording will be found. Such an assumtion is degrading. As you have better understanding of the use of English words, or so you seem to claim, that is something you should have noticed. houghi -- This openSUSE mailinglist is about the community.
