I'm certain that calling people assholes doesn't convey that message
whatsoever.
This is coming from someone who agrees with your general sentiments but
finds your ability to deliver the message thoroughly lacking.
The Fedora 'users' list (broadening because it was under a different
title until recently) has long had a number of reasonably knowledgeable
users that whine, bitch and moan but don't join the specific lists where
these things are productively discussed and many of them don't bother to
create bugzilla entries.
I understand why most Fedora packagers/developers don't want to stay
subscribed to this list because they get the impression that their
volunteer efforts are often unappreciated.
For those that are actively involved in volunteer efforts, like you,
they need to sometimes turn a deaf ear and/or develop a thick skin
because the whiners, gripers, bitchers and moaners actually have good
intentions but like you have sometimes demonstrated a lack of
perspective, tact and respect for others efforts.
Yeah.. Wrong word but I did get some attention?
So where were you Craig? :-)
I have the greatest respect for those that develop Linux, package
Fedora, and provide Fedora. The OS. I feel that, if perhaps, the Get
Fedora site page does not *exactly* provide what I, ME, wants I will
either deal with it or offer, in a polite manor, creative suggestions.
Never, at no time, insulting the person that actually did the work. that
is what I saw. That is what offended me.
I think that those that receive something for nothing should only
complain when the chocolate candy is not sweet.
