I also tend to not back down just because people order me to.
You need to work on a few things, then. * "Back off and cool down" is not so much an order as "good tactical advice" * Going against the mainstream just for the sake of it, are because you feel its important 'not to be one of the herd' can mean you miss out on a lot and waste a lot of energy by being contrarian. * Saying "you're all wrong" is never useful * "Because that's the way we've always done it" is not a valid argument against progress, even if the progress is flawed. * "Why don't you try .." isn't an order, but you should try the suggestion rather than taking an academic stance on things won't work. many of here are what amounts to 'engineers' in that we are concerned with building things that work, rather than computer theoreticians. If it works for us then it can work for you if you have the humility to accept the way we say it works. -- People who make no mistakes do not usually make anything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
