No, it's 9fans-owner@cse.psu.edu speaking.

Look, I love a good argument as much as the next person, but there's no
reason to overdo it.

Is a 'good' argument like 'clean' fun?

(ie, a contradiction in terms probably...)

This isn't an argument ... It's just contradiction.

What's better than a good argument?  Why, one that's well done, of course!

Though, often I prefer mine rare.

Agreed. My unhappiness is with the 'community' not individuals.

the problem.

One wonders when, in the course of an individuals public record of
contribution, it becomes obvious that that individual has produced
nothing of note, and produced no end except to promote divisiveness
and strife, it doesn't become expedient to boot that individual off
the mailing list.

[andrey mirtchovski]

on one hand people are suggesting the last two days' worth of traffic
resembles the freebsd soap opera aired not long ago:

    http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=92148+0+current/freebsd-chat

on the other, you have this old quote from, i believe, presotto with regards
to one TB:

    Leave Thomas alone.  Someone has to whack the hornets
    nest with a branch every now and again just to
    remind the hornets that they're still alive.

so, which one are we having?

ps: personally, after trying (and failing) to persuade people that plan9 is
worth a try (for the third time) at ucalgary, choate's little rant that
started everything off definitely seems to have touched a note with me...

It seems to me that your outburts do little to further your goals,
yet they usually incite a flame war.  Why not, then, keep them to
yourself?
