there's no understanding for
passion by several people. Sending this private massage is also adding
fuel to the fire. I guess Fons, there are a lot of mails in several
lists where you in a more distinguished kind said something similar. Are
the words important?
How we react in times of high stress says _a lot_ about us. So I think it is
pretty okay of Fons to publish these words. And while Fons surely has his own
way of "extreme reactions" I never found him to be that impolite and
insulting.
I'm not only subscribed to Linux mailing lists,
but I only know flame
wars from Linux mailing lists and forums.
Hopefully I have learned to behave better by myself.
You should read the discussions on heise.de. You don't know flamewars till you
read those. And these are probably still nothing against good-old usenet or so
I have heard...
And from my expirience from various high-volume lists (kde-devel, gentoo-
users, gentoo-users-de and some more): This is just small. Not enough people
and not enough days of senseless, immature name-calling to be counted as a big
flamewar. Maybe a small flamewar-lein? :-)
/me is getting a good night of sleep now. Two much popcorn while watching
these discussions.
Have fun,
Arnold
PS: You all do remember what your next employer will find out about you when
googling your name, do you? :-)
