my recent 'end this thread' post

[Douglas J Hunley]

quoting someone:

First, some clarification:
1) I didn't even read the thread. AT ALL. 
2) I had 20, yes 20, emails direct to me asking me to end the thread
3) I lost count of how many emails I had asking me to move the thread to 
general
4) I very rarely come down on anyone on these lists

Given the above, I thought it best to just end the thread. Period. There had 
been several requests to move the thread already, and there were several 
incidents of childish name calling.

It's NEVER a question of what I approve, cause frankly I couldn't give a shit. 
These are your lists people. However, when I have an outpouring of people 
asking me to do something about it, I will.

I didn't mean to offend anyone by calling them children (and considering some 
of the thread contents, I'm surprised anyone took offense at it). I was 
simply saying, in my curt fashion, to have everyone grow up and discuss 
things like adults. Which means w/o name calling, and personal attacks.

So, please everyone, let's just move on w/ our lives shall we? Keep 
linux-users to LINUX-related topics, and abuse the hell out of general.. just 
don't abuse each other.

Clear enough?
