I completely agree with Tom. Here are some other gratuitous insults and
ad-hominem attacks which have unfortunately distracted from the possible
validity of viewpoints expressed to p5p in the recent past:
And just what have *you* done for _58 lately?
Are you really that stupid, Ilya, or is it just time for your periodic
month of invective?
If there are any short piers in your area, please take a long walk.
If you invested as much energy in fixing instead of bitching, you'd put
yourself out of the job of bitching. Or do you really enjoy that job
overmuch?
Do you also subscribe to women's rights mailing lists and bombast them
with mysogynist tirades?
I note that the two recent confusions come from Michael Schwerne, whose
self-selected IRC nick was historically "Stupid".
The existence of crippled, short-sighted, primitive, comsumerist
crapware systems should not stop those of us who actually have decent
systems designed by programmers and for programmers from getting our
jobs done.
I can't help it if you, your neighbor, or your dog is not sufficiently
skilled at running a professional system as so to give that decrepit
system a proper name. That's a personal problem that you'll have to
work out on your own.
I hope that all p5p participants will make a concious effort to exclude
inappropriate content from their posts.
