Greetings, I am not pointing fingers as I have not the time to dissect the past week's mails anyway. Those who have overstepped a line know it already, or will realise it by the end of reading this.
Can we please uphold some civility on this mailing list and take extra care to extend this civility to newcomers? Good! I knew you'd understand! This mailing list is subject (as the whole Ubuntu community is) to the Code of Conduct [0] which states: Be respectful. The Ubuntu community and its members treat one another with respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Ubuntu. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. We expect members of the Ubuntu community to be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Ubuntu project and with users of Ubuntu. It is not unusual for someone to compare a new thing (which is supposed to provide similar facility) to an old thing. Ubuntu and Linux takes this role to Windows and Mac users. Do not chastise or flame people for doing so. It helps nobody. I do not need replies, nor do I need public apologies. (although private apologies may appease some, please tread carefully in to private communication). I would, however, appreciate if this hostility would please stop. I really don't want to have to invoke the sprinkles and cherry on top.
