Do you really expect an answer? Hard to explain -- I guess the misinterpretation of one of my earlier comments led me to feel the need to try to explain myself. Apology (or attempt at explanation) is still further below. > > > (2) maybe bringing systemd into a discussion is (should be considered) > > something just as disrepectful (harmful) as bringing Hitler into a > > discussion. > > i'm disgusted and not sure how I should comment on comparing a free > software tool with someone who's actions lead to the death of millions of > people and the holocaust. I sincerely apologize! I never intended my comment to express any approval of Hitler or a comparison of systemd to Hitler. I don't know if I can explain or if an explanation would help. Without really thinking about the actions of Hitler, I was just trying to suggest that bringing up an off-topic subject that provokes controversy (like systemd) might signal the end of useful conversation about a subject, something like bringing up a different off-topic subject (Hitler) has in the past signaled the end of useful conversation on other subjects. To me, the idea of bringing up Hitler in a conversation is crazy / humorous, even though his actions are far from humorous. (I probably dug myself in deeper :-(
