    My final word on this as I think this thread should die a natural death is

    BOFH is an IT attitude that should be extinct . And If any of my staff at work display it they get the message loud and clear from me .

    And its an attitude that should not prevail on these forums .

    Re: An ornery SOB bashes the Ubuntu bashers.

    Fasinating thread!! Obviosly Stormy Eyes is a passionate person. Good for him. I love passion. Maybe a little young too--maybe not! But, I am sure that everyone here is perhaps a better person for all that has been said. Seems to me that pehaps there should be a private type of forum for people who do contribute to blow off steam with their fellow Ubuntuees. I also agree with the wisdom to permit this to die a natural death. I know that it must not be easy. Maybe the best response in an open forum is to say to the 'bashers' "Good Luck to you, We will be here if you choose to return". I would resist the temptation to reply in kind because that may be exactly what they want. Anyway for those who say it needed to be said -- who is it being said to-- other Ubuntu devotees (most of them anyway). Well. Thanks for the lesson and thanks for the passion and wisdom all.

    Stormy does not represent us....and nor do his views.

    Sorry this post keeps the thread alive...I'll stop.

    If I worked for you, I would give you no cause to complain. You are, after all, paying me good money.

    I don't think it has prevailed, or will. My opinions are solely my own. I do not represent anybody, nor do I claim to represent anybody but myself.
    My sole duty is to my own happiness and well-being. I recognize no other.

    Thumbs down Re: An ornery SOB bashes the Ubuntu bashers.


    I am getting tired with the whole bashing thing...either way.

    Everyone has opinions and are entitled to express them.

    People can bash Ubuntu or worship it, or anywhere in between...different strokes for different folks.

    And...if you are gonna swear, at least have the guts to spell it out!!

    The cool thing is is that everyone is entitled to not listen.
