[D-community-offtopic] Natural Linux/ Arnold Bird/ spoilt child/ ungrown adult/

[Zenaan Harkness]

I know this was dissected by Scott and whoever already, and we've had
a jolly good flame show, but Naturarnold LinuxBird (and other
personas), looks like you had a paddy whack!

May be, just may be, you will begin to communicate like an adult?

One can dream.

Once again, you rant multiple lists whilst hiding who you are.

I am Zenaan Harkness. I have some (not all) strongly held views.

As an aside, I shall use systemd and have tried a few times now, but
have a technical issue or two with my setup when using systemd, which
I need to find time to solve first - I intend to use systemd as
default init regardless of the outcome of any GR that may or may not
happen - I really do read and appreciate the technical superiority of
systemd, even though I have since a year now been unable to find time
to solve the issue stopping me from using it.

I don't hide behind a "persona" which is clearly political in its
agenda - and you hypocritically accuse others of being political... OH
the irony!

Notwithstanding, your email is not politics?

No name?

A persona "Natural Linux" - makes me wonder if you're into nude
bushwalking or something.

Abuse of power claimed, by an anonymous _you_, and AFTER the fact.

Come on, you need to try a little harder for a truly good troll.

Don't get me wrong - you might have some important views and you might
have some significant contributions to make to the future of Debian,
but you are doing a sterlingly poor job of marketing these views you
hold.

It might be that you are simply not aware of how bad you are
presenting yourself. Firstly you need to cool down. Then, you need to
be honest - go public (I'm sure many of us guess who you are, but hey,
we ought assume you have good intentions) as in, don't hide behind
your personas (and you really ought to avoid attaching other's
   ^^^^^^ that should be "attacking" not "Attaching"

personas when you yourself are using one - we call that hypocrisy, and
really bad marketing too).

There must be avenues for proposing changes to the Debian structures,
if process is lacking, invent it and propose that first.

If you truly hold the beliefs you are less that successfully
promoting, then hold a steady course ... and good luck.

A classic case of FUD, preying on the lack of knowledge of (some of)
your readers to assert (by implication) bad intentions and actions
which are not possible.

Again, really bad form if you have some good points in there somewhere.

More of the same.

Baseless reverse-psychology assertions.

Not four. Eight! They don't get to decide. They DID decide!

If you think a GR will get up, stop hiding behind your persona and
propose it. I highly doubt such a GR would get the votes though - make
Debian a black sheep of the GNU/Linux world? Unlikely that 50%+1 DDs
would vote for that, NOTWITHSTANDING all the technical reasons for the
(apparent) superiority of systemd...


I shall refrain from calling you a troll. I assume you have strongly
held, yet fundamentally good, intentions, and are simply failing
dismally to communicate effectively at this point in time.

So good luck, and if you want respect, you might try toning it down a bit,
Zenaan
