Ladies and gentemen, here we have the live episode of the ranting, maligning, rants-against-abusive-behaviour-discussions on the cygwin-talk list. Aside from Lionel B., I would have to declare that this thread is again getting to be enjoyable! CGF *doesn't* need to change. IIRC, cgf says he writes the way he writes because it's fun. I really still can't believe that some take the cygwin meanness very seriously to the point of being concerned about the behaviour of cgf. Really! The cygwin list has become a list where where the cygwin gurus have set the culture of letting people learn to help themselves first before anything else. That's the reason for the thousands of times when postings are answered with "go to "http://cygwin.com/problems.html" or "goto http://cygwin.com/lists.html", or, with a pointer to the correct list. In that way, people are taught to help themselves first before wasting other people's time. You've all known that adage "Give a man a fish! You feed him for a day. Teach the man to fish! You feed him for life." Teaching men to fish, IMHO, is what cgf has been trying to do. He has his own style of doing it and his style is mean. But this meanness is just a matter of style. It is not evil. It would take a certain maturity level on the cygwin list (e.g. someone probably needs to have been subscribed to the list for a year or so) for anyone to understand that this meanness is style and a humorous style and not a lack maturity . If someone does not see this meanness as a unique way of being humorous, IMHO, this someone has not been mature enough to understood the cygwin mailing list. Thus, if all these cgf-is-abusive-and-has-to-change-blah-blah-blah talk is taken very seriously, I must concede that all this is in the mind. And, if anyone really really takes the meannness seriously, he has to probably step back and get a good meta view of the whole issue ;) Hmmm, if I took all these seriously, I would say: CGF, YOU'RE MEAN, YOU'RE NUTS, YOU GOTTA CHANGE. WHY DO YOU ACT THAT WAY? WHY WHY WHY? CAN'T YOU BEHAVE FOR ONCE IN THIS FREAKING MAILING LIST? AREN'T YOU CONCERNED THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING CONCERNED WITH YOUR BEHAVIOUR???? WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER NOW AND AND NOT AVOID THE ISSUE. YOU ARE AFRAID, YOU CGF. AREN'T YOU? I GUESS YOU ARE. CGF, EVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, WEEEEEEEEEEEE, WE BETTER GET SCARED!!!!!!!!. CGF IS HERE TO HAUNT US FOEVER........WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH...... Best Regards, Carlo -- Carlo Florendo Astra Philippines Inc. www.astra.ph
