That's one way to view this. Another way to view this, would be |
15 |
that I had good knowledge of the problem and only posted what |
16 |
really was needed. |

Oh, no? It wasn't Alan who started this "flame" sub-thread? I guess I |
33 |
must be reading a different thread then. Just to make that clear - |
34 |
I'm *NOT* talking about the subthread titled "Gnome: No sound - "No |
35 |
volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"". |

No argument there. So you think that this is an excuse for something? |

45 |
My attitude? Well, maybe. But I rather think it has everything |
46 |
to do with Alan, who made a bad comment. It (maybe) was my mistake |
47 |
to respond to the troll. Let's not confuse things here, please. |
48 |
It was NOT me who started the fight. If Alan would not have posted |
49 |
what's in <200803252159.41035.alan.mckinnon@×××××.com>, there would |
50 |
be no argument at all. |
51 |
|
52 |
Reg. my attitude: You're saying that it's no good from me, when |
53 |
I treat people respectfully, just like I treated Alan in the other |
54 |
"half" of the thread? I should not have done this? Guess I've got |
55 |
to learn something here - I'll try to change that in the future. |

You disagree? You think that he was helpful with his KDE comment? |

I am. |

That's a bit late now, isn't it? |
