This has blown up out of<br>proportion and i think i'm not going to be the only one here hoping<br>people stand back for a moment. <br><br>In Lee defence he didn't call you a troll Gary, that i believe was Kris<br>in his post. However you implied that Lee was paranoid in yours, and<br>should take off his tin
foil hat, in the end, by your definition Gary,<br>you posted something that would be fair to say would cause controversy<br>and get a reaction. i think this would have been the same on any forum,<br>or mailing list. As you have pointed out you didn't like being called a<br>troll, which i happen to agree is a fair and just point, but you can't<br>really get on the defencive after you have already done a similar thing.<br><br>As for Lee, play nicely! Gary has his points and is just as welcome as<br>you to make them. I personally do not agree with his, and fail to see<br>where he's coming from, but this is what makes our community great.<br>Diversity. I actually think that you two would get on. <br><br>However Gary you going to have to understand that there is going to be a<br>level of M$ bashing, and it's not like people on this list have not<br>worked with, or used M$ and are entitled to call their products whatever<br>they like. I'm pretty sure that Ballmer and Gates
won't really mind.<br><br>So i am not going to get involved in this flame anymore than this, i<br>also encourage people to do the same, this is not what we signed up for<br>and we are a friendly community. This doesn't help anyone.<br><br>So if your still prepaired to discuss your points Gary (i'll understand<br>if you don't). I would ask pound for pound what else could be done with<br>the money in these countries bearing in mind it's going to be a hell of<br>a lot less than a $100 dollars per head?<br><br>Yours hoping that neither Lee or Gary is too peeved with me.<br><br>Finux<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br></blockquote><br><p>
