Well, I think he meant it to be amusing. It just seems that on humour, as well as taste, one's mileage may vary.

Ever sacrafice any goats? Listen, I gota listen to your views everyday. If someone posts something that you might not care for, then ignore it. Someone else may want to know about it OTHER than you.

Your funny Steve Philp. I didn't mind writting this back publicly as the post was already soured. Steve Philp wrote:

What does that have to do with Window Managers? I've sacrificed a few users in my day, but only to appease the SCSI gods.

Listen, I gota listen to your views everyday.

There are unsubscribe instructions attached to the bottom of each and every post to this list. If you find the content that bad, there are certainly better ways to spend those few minutes a day. Have you considered visiting the Big Blue Room right next to the computer room?

Ya? so whats your point?

Truthfully, I found the "bordering on spam" response rather humorous. Reread your post objectively. Now compare it to the myriad of Make-Money-Fast spams you get daily. Seems pretty close.

Everyone has thier own views. I cared not for it. Yea but look at it yourself. I did include "One wm SuSE should of included"

I would imagine that the Blackbox author (don't know him personally) would prefer that activism be done tastefully. He's certainly applied a certain aesthetic to his work that would imply it.

Thats right you don't, I do. And what are you saying my orignal post was un-tastefull? to what end? This thread was wasted cause someone wanted to stop it with his own point of view.

...

It is tragic that you find yourselfs the moderators and the VOICE to tell people what they can do and what they can't.

Oh, go ahead and say it. We're all dictators holding down the little guy. Do you feel better now?

Maybe, if you think this is true you need a vacation.

...

I care not for your little flame talk against me, I don't have time for it.

And yet you have time to post a nasty tantrum to a mailing list? Odd.

A nasty tantrum? Wow..I guess it did something. Even.

Nor does anyone else, you failed in limiting your judgement of being a Voice againt a harmless post. Now you sound like your top dog over anyone's ideas that you care to stop. Stop what?

Huh? You wanted everyone to imply a bit of humor into your post, why not ascribe the same attributes to the "bordering on spam" comment? I certainly took it as a gentle poke in the ribs. Take it as constructive criticism on how to get peoples' interest in something.

Well, I didn't. Maybe my mistake. But I still think it was rude. I posted that message in an enthusatic mood. Hurting no-ones feelings

Ah never mind, you want me to hand you a shovel? so you can dig yourself deeper? Over such a simple post.

About the only thing I'm going to need a shovel for is to clear out all the tissues after your sob story of repression by The Man.

I guess you took it the same way I did. Strange. But you actually seem to think of this in many different view points. Trying to see it from all sides? I guess so.

My intial (two) replies weren't an attack. In fact that is why I made the second post so quickly, I wanted to make sure that I came across politely. Perhaps I shouldn't have posted at all, but I see _so_much_spam_ in my mail box, it's not a laughing matter, and when I saw that post it just hit a nerve. Steven Udell wrote:

You guys gona clobber me for this whole thing.

All this is a waste of time.

Without humiliation. I apologize.

I am sorry I posted a "dumb" looking sales pitch sorta thing over a wm that I am a bit too enthusiastic about. (I am a "offical" <g> beta tester of it) (I am in the sources ...well! )

Sorry for taking the "short of SPAM" in an attack mode. But I didn't want to get shot down by the first re-post.

Sorry for dragging this out to bitter ends.

I like to end this.

I have nothing but respect for all of you. I should of displayed that in the first place.

I thought the post wouldn't be so bothersome.

What 2 no 3 have replyed to it so far...LOL Out of how-many ppl, I know you can't/can now..but its beyond hope of repairing. For such a silly post.
