I suppose writing long comments about the psychology of "hurt
feelings" and Daily Show analogies adds logic and facts to the thread.
If you were paying attention (at least as much as you suggest) you'd
have noticed that I was one of the original responders to the OP's
question, who took him seriously. He failed to respond to it and went
off as he did.
Get off you high (merry-go-round) horse and spout your parent-like
drivel to the kids who kicked a ball into your yard. A discussion took
place . . . perhaps some posters used language you found hurtful. . .
I didn't realize that debian-users@ had a politeness policeman. I'll
keep that in mind from now on.
With all due respect,
