'Apology' accepted, and sorry for getting offended, but I'm sure you can

Anyway, I think the general lesson to be learned here (for everyone I
mean) is to tread carefully and mind /everyone's/ opinions and
concerns. Not all of us are simply mindbent on linux world domination
(and some of us are). Some people take this whole freedom thing very
seriously, and get mighty defensive when it's threatened. That is the
whole point of our little operating system here, after all..
? Grow up. I mentioned a concern about the
list being closed and
all of a sudden I'm being flamed and made fun of? (The first thing
I ever said in this discussion I might add) Maybe if you're trying
to 'represent' people you should adopt a mannerism not
characteristic of 14-year-old script kiddies.
Sigh. I guess next time I'll have to add a longer disclaimer. For
the record, I didn't mean to take fun on you. I was trying (albeit
with poor results) to have some fun together (maybe <auto-ironic> is a
better tag, I don't know). P.S.: maybe we could move this thread somewhere else.
I feel a bit OT
here.
I don't really intend on dragging this out any farther than it's already
gone. :)
