Andreas Jaeger:
While the vast majority of participants on the openSUSE mailing lists are good citizens of those lists, we have from time to time had problems with a few individuals who seek to use the lists to derail conversations and abuse other members of the project.
Around 50% of conversations on this list steer way off. Plus: Where, please, is the opensuse compendium of intolerable abuse? Do you realize you sound like Robert Mugabe talking about opposition?
Last October, we banned a user going by the name of Aaron Kulkis from the lists. He has rejoined the mailing lists under several new identities, (including "Matt Archer," "Raskolnivkov Tkachuk," "Evans Garde," and "Washington Irving").
This has been brought to the board's attention, and we are investigating options to enforce the decision we made last October.
What, like cutting a couple of backbones? Get real, there is no way a mailing list can win this. Surprisingly desperate statement, though. You really think, it's worth it?
