Sorry, I meant to address this as well: |
| 8 |
Don't get caught in the approval/disapproval trap. |
| 9 |
My preferences and opinions have nothing to do with personal stuff. |
| 10 |
I read everyone's posts, regardless of whether or not I agree with |
| 11 |
them on anything, and have no enemies, because I'm not interested |
| 12 |
in that sort of thing. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
There are occasionally people who dislike me, and that's fine. |
| 15 |
I don't like everybody either. |
| 16 |
But generally speaking, what others think is none of my business |
| 17 |
until they try to convince me I should also think that way. |
| 18 |
Then it seems appropriate to address it. |

You know, Linus uses gnome last I heard. |
| 21 |
So I'm well aware that my personal preferences have nothing to do |
| 22 |
with whether or not I am proficient or knowledgeable. |
| 23 |
Maybe I'm pushing peoples' buttons by sounding like some inflexible, |
| 24 |
judgemental old fart you met before. If so, sorry! I'm more of a |
| 25 |
"live and let live", yet strongly opinionated old fart. :) |
