I'm asking for a polite, civilised way of treating each other. And hopin this "LP" (sic!) bashing stops. Just treat each other civilly. Is that that hard? > Chasing us off from asking raspbian related questions here, is a lost > cause because [...] Please, don't misrepresent me. I *never* "chased anyone off" from asking raspbian. On the contrary: I think fringe-Deian questions to be on topic here, to get a feel on how different Debian derivatives relate to each other. But I know there are people who disagree.

I actually do enjoy off-topic tangents, and think they belong into such general mailing lists as this. If it deviates too far from my interests, I just bow out politelly. What I really do care for is (a) to express disagreement in a civil manner (you don't like systemd? just don't use it, even better: help others with your experience. But don't mention LP [1] at every turn in the discussion as if he were the Devil incarnate. This is so wrong on so many accounts that I don't know where to start). And (b) always think that there are ~3000 readers of this list, so do fix your subjects when swerving off-topic. And, oh, (c) accept that there are other views, and that (gasp!) they might be right.
