the last post got past me somehow.
just to "inflate my post count" even more, i reply:

I am NOT going to apologize for telling the truth.
1: He tries to tell the OP that something isn't working at all, when the OP says in the first post that it is working. I.E. samba shares are mounted by GVFS in the file manager. Yet debiman claims that "samba isn't connected at all" since mount doesn't show it, when even the most cursory google search would show that shares mounted in these file managers DON'T use the system mount commands.
2: Posts stupid crap just to get his post count up. Like in this thread: posts "try to right click and "open terminal here" ", 5 days after the thread starter posts that the same trick doesn't work with the GVFS mounted shares.
So no, I will not apologize. Period. End of story.
If you want to ban me go right ahead, I don't give a crap anymore. You will be losing one of the few people around here that actually answers questions when they post though. Like my explanation of how to mount SMB shares from the terminal that followed in my previous post.
no-one says you should apologize for telling the truth.
that's not what i was asking for (more about that later).
but you should also tell the truth! so, about your reply quoted above:
you are simplifying and misreading what really happened in this thread. you are paraphrasing, instead of quoting - i never said "samba isn't connected at all". that's just the first example, interested readers (if any) may find more.
don't paraphrase. quote the facts, or leave it. because anything beyond that
must necessarily be colored by your own emotions and i'm really not interested in those.
i never claim to be right if i'm not 100% sure i'm right. i use the
conditional when appropriate (which you seem to fail to recognize, and i will make no assumptions about your level of education now).
i understand that this thread reads differently for someone who comes to read the whole thread as it is now, but this has been an ongoing conversation, which you also seem to fail to recognize.
my guess is you visit here once a week or so and pick the thread where you think you can let go of most of your "righteous" anger. anger about how the whole manly linux community has developed into a bunch of snowflakes.
no my friend
*, the only "righteous" you are is self-righteous and pompous.
PS:
i'm quite happy with this being an "unsafe space", i just prefer to do things differently.
my report was closed along those lines: "I like to think members have a bit more scope to express their opinions, including a right of rebuttal".
fine by me, let's go all old testament. a kick in the butt for a kick in the butt.
