I am not Aaron or Dirk or Banga Gong. I'm not the only person on this list that is questioning System D. I understand that you are offended by his insults and I share your sentiments, but I'm not him. On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 5:27 PM, Anton Aylward <opensuse@antonaylward.com> wrote:

I suppose the majority of people who commented on this article about their distaste for System D are just flat out wrong and severely mislead:

Just because you think that I'm wrong and misled for not agreeing with you, you seem to think that the converse applies. I object to your vitriol and your, personal insults.
In that, you are incorrect. You are entitled to your opinion on this matter and are welcome to use a distribution that doesn't use systemd, that doesn't use kde4, that doesn't use ipv6. You are entitled to take the source and, together with like minded individuals, devote the effort into coding and recoding a system to your preferences. That has always been the Linux way; there are many such instances and examples. Android has continued that tradition of FOSS letting others recode the way they want: one such group recently got a large investment.
However, as someone once said, the right to go to hell in a hand-basket of your own choosing does not mandate that I have to carry said basket. (Go google for the source) I like the way openSuse is going. If it starts going in a direction that I disfavour enough (all implementations seem to have minor annoyances) then I'll go find another or go associate with a group developing another. I've made that change a couple of times in the past and it has brought me to Suse and I'm happy here. Personally I feel RedHat is too radical for me :-)
Your right to dislike systemd does not give you, or aaron/dirk/banga, the right to speculate about my sexual preferences, politics or ancestry in an insulting manner. You can make your case without telling me that I'm foolish to disagree with you.
This isn't a matter of religion, life or death, party politics or even money. Its just about some free, open source code.
