John, please stop cluttering the list with your complaining. It's making a right mess for those of that wish to discuss the project and its direction.
Wow. Pot? Kettle? So, let me get this straight. People are able to bitch, whine, complain and needlessly threaten to leave the project to their heart's content and that's ok. But when I point out how idiotic and irrelevant it is to publicly threaten to leave, or inform the list membership that they are leaving, that's not? Really? If you're serious about this you're a complete tool. In fact there is no if here, you're just a tool. Simply... Wow.
Obviously the irony/sarcasm was too subtle for you.
In my opinion, you absolutely need to get your own house in order. The value of that last post was *zero*. As for bitching, whining and complaining, your last post had the lot. As for the name calling... as you say "wow", yeah, simply wow. I expect that was my fault for 'making you' do it, was it?
As for the "leaving" stuff, I haven't suggested that myself in this thread. In a normal community discussion, I think it reasonable for somebody to comment if they feel the project isn't meeting its stated goals *in their opinion*... It is called Free Speech. It doesn't matter if it gets said a thousand times by different people.
I use Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS (4,5) and SL depending on the particular circumstances. That general approach hasn't and won't change. So there is not "leaving" for me.
