The reaction is not appropriate. |
| 20 |
The behaviour could be due to simple ignorance, instead of idiocy. |
| 21 |
If he *knew* it was idiotic, he *would not* have done it, isn't it? |
| 22 |
Or didn't you think about that? |
| 23 |
Are maybe you -God forbid!- an idiot too? :) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
In any case, even if r0bertz is a clueless idiot, the only sane approach |
| 26 |
is even in this case to calmly and rationally explain (or providing |
| 27 |
links to information) why what he was doing was, in your opinion, wrong. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
That's for example what I am doing with you, even if you are quite |
| 30 |
jaw-droppingly too, outside a system administration context. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
You see: it's called "Dealing With People". It's a different software |
| 33 |
from Portage or Paludis, but you should try it nonetheless. |

Pretty unfortunately, that's what every paranoid would say. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Until I will see anti-paludis campaigns in the streets, sorry, it's just |
| 44 |
paranoia. You see people disagreeing (very wholeheartedly) with you, and |
| 45 |
instead of accepting that, you build the delusion of a conspiracy. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
It's a well known, quite common psychological mechanism. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Of course you are free to give me the URLs of angry anti-paludis |
| 50 |
websites, the menacing private mails you received, etc. and convince me |
| 51 |
I am wrong. |

And, sir, what would the aim of those people be? What advantage they |
| 59 |
have from maliciously and viciously crushing Paludis? Will they become |
| 60 |
richer? More powerful? Or it's for the women? |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
You see, you happily give "idiocy" tags to people, yet you seem to |
| 63 |
believe things that have no rational justification at all. Maybe you |
| 64 |
should think twice. |
| 65 |

They care about code, and they care about your public behaviour. Even if |
| 72 |
they spread lies about your code because they want the Crystal Skull |
| 73 |
from the Paludis Shrine, well, you do not have to convince them. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
You have to convince everyone else. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
And you are not doing that. Trying to win on Volker, you are losing with |
| 78 |
everyone else. |
| 79 |
But at this point I don't think you will understand that -you're too |
| 80 |
busy not being an "idiot" when talking about package management, yet |
| 81 |
being somehow not as clever when dealing with human beings. |
