Subject: How come your moderators are flame meisters
First off: Yes It was a (very possibly not funny) attempt at some form of humour and you just missed it Almost every post in the thread (not just my ones) was a joke.Absent Minded wrote:I think this thread has gotten far enough off topic.

@ julian67... There is no need to let your displeasure with one thread on this forum ooze over into all the other topics you are replying to. May I suggest that if you are having that much trouble with something that you create a thread in General Discussion or off topic to air out you problem? I would hope this was an attempt at some form of humor and I have just missed it.

Nobody had posted to that thread in 18 hours! And it needed locking? It had already died a natural death.
May I make a suggestion? It's that when someone engages in a vigorous debate, or expresses opinions that differ from your own, that you don't understand or characterise that as displeasure? It isn't.
I read through the "beginner" thread from start to finish a few hours ago and I don't see why it would annoy you. If you invite a debate you get a debate. If people expressing different and opposing opinions is a problem I'm not sure that asking for feedback is wise.
I find it disturbing that you went to a thread that had been untouched for 18 hours, expressed your displeasure with me and then locked the thread. Lighten up, it was just a string of silly jokes. In an earlier post in the same thread I wrote
but I had intended that as a joke as well, not a prediction.....p.s. am I risking an infraction by not adding a smiley?
Debian User Forums != Ubuntu Forums
Is this really how things are going to be here now?
edit: actually I am genuinely annoyed with you saying
Please go and read all the posts I've made in various threads and then tell me that your characterisation is reasonable. http://forums.debian.net/search.php?aut ... 7&sr=postsThere is no need to let your displeasure with one thread on this forum ooze over into all the other topics you are replying to.
That's a really crappy thing to say. It's unpleasant and untrue. It suggests that you have a personal difficulty with me that you can't put aside. If a regular member said it I'd be mildly annoyed but a moderator coming up with this kind of pejorative personal remark is unimpressive.
