Apology to Ubuntu members here

[cblue]

I just want to let everyone here know that any Mepis user that is posting on your forums, and trashing your distro, is not affiliated with the mepislovers site. Like the person going by the nick of Coolblue. That is someone being mean and maybe even someone that is trying to stir up trouble between your community and the Mepis one. So please accept my apologies for any person claiming to be a Mepis user that is here to cause trouble on your forums.

CBlue the webmaster at mepislovers.. DOES NOT ALLOW Distro BASHING .. and she doesn't
allow Trolls either..

I can't speak for CBlue.. but as a dedicated OSS person.. we can do without this kind of
nonsense..

please accept our (mine) apology for this completely and totally Non-Productive post..

respectfully..

I'm sure it won't be a problem, this forum is constantly being cleaned and the Moderators are constantly keeping a look out.

Thanks for your concerns and apologies!

Good deal. Its never a good idea to make assumptions about a group based upon one negative attribute of a member. Only positive attributes should lead to generalizations. For example, based apon this post those MEPIS people are surely nice and respectable.

What, you even expect a reason ? Isn't "windoze sux" enough anymore ? Seriously, just saw another one of those comments in a thread, and I appreciate that random bashing is not encouraged here. Linux, any distro of it, has plenty going for it without any need for hyperbole.

Don't worry about it. I'm not going to flame a distro's entire user community just because a few fans of a distro are morons. That would be rank collectivism.

I'm still a noob here, but thanks cblue and thekat.

For myself, I just wish for you and the other folks in Mepis-land good luck and happy computing.

its not that big of a deal. i actually enjoy people listing things about other distros, it reminds me why i use ubuntu in the first place.

no hard feelings, rock on mepis lovers.
