Thanks Jonathan. You are absolutely right. Use your mailfilter! Can someone 
hating Martins posts please explain to me why they DO NOT USE THIS FILTER? It 
might be manhunting after all?

My brother and his wife were removed from viewing and accessing the
Church
Facebook page in a nasty little spat.

2 people had a falling out, lets call them jack and jill, with
jack
saying something in the heat of the moment by email.

jack was then immediately blocked from the Facebook page by jill.
jill stated that it was for the good of the group that that person be
eliminated.

Someone else stood up for jack saying that it was in the heat of the
moment and that if they both calmed down and talked to each other that
everyone would see sense.

jill then blocked them.

Another person then blocked jill to stop her blocking people who
disagreed with her.  That person was then blocked by someone who felt
that
jill was possibly right.

jill at this point had validation that she was right.

Another person tried to side with jack, and then things got screwy.

both teams found a person with the ability to block and started
blocking
people, _in_case_ they took sides.

Overnight the church was in uproar, including people who never went on
facebook, and some who didn't even know what it was.

It fell to the vicar to pull jack and jill into an office and tell
them
the facts straight.

everyone was given access again, and at the end of it, the only thing
that
was certain was that no one could trust any of the people who had
blocked
others to have the ability to block others in future.

do what has been suggested, if you don't want to see emails from a
person,
and filter them.

do stop adding to this discussion ... the one with the inflammatory
subject
from Martin.

Please stop saying that a community is damaged because it either does,
or
doesn't block someone from it's list.

Remember that all people are different we don't all think the same way
...
if all great minds think alike then how do we create new ideas?

There will always be disagreements, working out how to get through them
is
the important thing ... sometimes that means just letting things slide.

What thread? You are inventing someting? This thread?

As I understand this blatant thread started when you misinterpreted
asking not to talk about world politics in general,
with call for killing people's ability to post to this list if they do.
And those are definitively 2 different things.

One is positive and thoughtful, yours is just negative.
So you got it wrong, it is your who just invented bashing people for

It's also the reason why mailing lists and forums, generally, /have some

 It was a mistake to keep the site online.


 Cordial thanks nevertheless to the few fellows, who have proven to be
 true friends.



 And although I wanted to publish the src long ago (and in fact did
 contribute openly [in real-time openly] from 2005 till 2009), now
 that's the final nail in the coffin.


 p.s. to Nikola: You stated long ago, that you are not a coder, so what
 are your plans with the src?

 Furthermore it is nonsense what you write about the CDDL terms. The
 CDDL permits the developer to keep the src closed, similar to the Xorg
 license.

 For this reason the exact opposite of what Mr. Nikola wrote.

 He is a person who never ever did _anything_ for OpenSXCE, SPARC nor
 for myself. What gives him the riht to place demand after demand after
 demand???



 I saw a number of folks throw around with their plans and technical
 terms.

 It is almost funny.


 The most ridiculous part was with the alldged Putin-backdoor which
 one smart person (from Poland?) expects to be hidden in OpenSXCE.


 For such blind idiots I no longer waste my time.

 Also sad, that only a friend pointed out that OpenSXCE was until today
 also available for x86/x64.

 Even with native Intel gfx support via DRM/GEM

 Plus with native support for the final Adobe Flash plugin (no loading
 order workaround nor anything else LD* related).


 I bet a million that there will never be any distro coming only
 remotely close to OpenSXCE.

 I decided to finally ship the long promised  Intel  DRM/GEM/KMS port,
 although it is still limited and broken at this moment.
 All KMS-only Intel ddx'es (all the way from 2.10 to 2.22.910 / 3.0RC)
 do manage to negotiate GEM and KMS and come up into a typical -retro
 X11 root-window, but then get lost in an indefinite loop of pollsys()
 / ioctl(). The X11 server never gets to the point where it accepts any
 connections.

 Therefore OpenSXCE uses the one of OpenBSD5.3's Xenocara, which is
 mistakenly sometimes referred to as the last UMS-capable driver,
 which is nonsense. While it still contains Mathhieu Herrb's UMS
 backports for older chipsets, new hardware requires KMS to be present,
 anyway in the 2010/2011 state of development. Also it requires at
 least a lot more of GEM support, than the DRM/GEM code included in
 OS/Net 147 (and hence Illumos) had.

 To test this, the easiest is to remove /dev/dri/card0, and then see
 which error messages you get  ;-)


 Whatever, on Sandy and higher I enabled DRI2 for this release, as
 demonstration. glxgears (which needs  AIGLX and not DRI2) works fine.
 xdriinfo and glxinfo also confirm, that DRI2 is up and running on
 Sandy (as indicated by Xorg.0.log), but as soon as you want to start
 compiz, it segfaults and you end up in text mode (if enabled, gdm
 screen).

 Whatever, I
