and as is proper for such a message, i sent it privately so as not to
bother people who don't give a shit about it.
i call it like i see it. you're a wanker. you're also a whining
contemptible loser.

aww, diddums. the big bad world is too harsh, make it go away.

pot. kettle. black.
who was it who bounced private mail to a public forum?
i repeat, you are a posturing wanker. your sole purpose in "debates"
is not to achieve anything constructive, it is to preen and posture in
public.

yes, it does, doesn't it. you really shouldn't be so willing to infringe
copyright like that. it reflects poorly on debian.

like i said, if you don't want to receive any message from me then
the onus is on you to NOT send me inflammatory crap which requires a
response. while i'm more than happy to have no further correspondence
with you, it's a bit much to expect that i'm going to honour your
request when you follow it up with several subsequent messages.

yeah, sending private email to a public list is not acceptable. for one
thing, it is a gross infringement of copyright. for another, the rest of
the people in the list don't give a shit and don't want to see it.
no regards,
