No, things have got heated because of *your* attitude and yours alone. You were politely warned earlier by myself and others that your tone was wrong. I don't believe you've gone through life without this being an issue before. Indeed, that's probably why you had platitudes to hand, such as not being here to make friends, instead of stepping back and thinking about your behaviour; you've heard the complaints before and routinely ignore them. Please, take a breather and go away for a couple days and let things die done. Then come back and see if everyone can politely get along to get this resolved. Other alternatives the list could consider include the list moderators taking some action to slow the pace of the conversation, e.g. moderate all posts and let them all through en masse once a day. I think this would help a lot at the moment. If there is any other paid-up member who's interested in helping getting this resolved, please step forward publically. Perhaps you can be a liason with the old committee. If things continue, I see John being incapable of progressing because he lacks the pragmatism required, instead he'll continue to insist on answers that no one else is interested in, and will alienate futher any of those that could help him. Cheers, Ralph. _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
