No offense, but it seems you just had some bad experience with an op on a channel. from that to declaring a distribution as dead there is a long distance. So someone misquoted you and thought you are sexist, big deal move on. Not to mention check out how many channels gentoo has (and how obsessed they are on staying on topic). or debian or actually most community developed distributions I know. I think the comment you got for your bug report was true and polite, bugzilla is not a place for community issues, there are forums mailing list and so on.
So calm down, take a deep breath, go for a round around the block :) Then I'm sure you will find the right people to address, complain to ubuntu ethics about that person or just forgive and forget there are annoying people in every community :) Ely On Fri, Jun 6, 2008 at 3:27 PM, Shlomi Fish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As I wrote on: > > http://community.livejournal.com/shlomif_tech/11379.html > > Ubuntu is dying as most of the bigwigs in its online community are infested > with ego, ping-pong legitimate complaints to oblivion, and refuse to take > responsibility for their own problems.
