Which indeed does not change my statement. All this (our Debian work) is only one part of our lives. Often a big part for some of us, sometimes the very biggest part for a few.....but nearly always a part of our lives. So, Thiemo, this was certainly not a negative comment about your work or any other work inside Debian. My point was : well, when the climate gets too much on our nerves, we should really consider a break off, even for a few hours, rather than constantly trying to push out our point and making things degenerate. Such behaviour *is* a professionnal behaviour. Constant flame and systematic opposition is not. Trying to see your contradictor's point from his/her own reference is the basis of any social behaviour and I hate seeing my fellow Debian colleagues forget about this. We are all (or nearly all) electronic communication oldtimers. We should know that arguments by mail always end up this way (even in professionnal environments, by the way). This is not saying "people who flame or have an argument, go away". Most of the people currently flaming out in lists and IRC are good people, all needed by Debian. This is just saying "you all know that constant flames do more damage to the project than the topics which have created them, please remember this". Yesterday, I've seen Peter answering Steve quite rudely. Today, I read Steve calling Sven a twit. All of them being people I personnally give high credit. This makes me believe that we crossed the line, that's all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
