I can think of a few people on the list whose opinions are diametrically
opposed to my own (at least, to judge by superficial details); yet we have
managed to cooperate when it comes to the Trinity desktop project.
It seems to me that we share a common purpose, if we participate in this
mailing list, and mostly we manage to rise above petty differences.
Nobody knows your race, ethnic background, or anything else about you, unless
you choose to tell us. And I hope that we can keep the peace here, at least,
when the rest of the world is falling apart all round us.

Michael: You're racist, and not the honest
kinda racist, more like the
hypocritical kind who tries to spin it into something else by appending a
long pointless msg. Recent versions of Trinity causes problems if
installed alongside other desktop environments, apt-get remove makes it
worse. Test before you speak.

Abdurrahman,
I usually don't get involved much in this sort of disputes, I stick to
technical things. But:
1) common sense suggests that you don't get people to help you by telling
them they are racist, hypocritical and so on.
2) there is a ML etiquette which is clearly posted on the TDE website that
asks specifically not to top post, so make sure you know the rules before
you insult others.
3) lot of people on this ML have been around for long time and have helped
out each others a lot. I don't remember seeing you around for that long, so
I take you are a new or recent user of this ML. Once again, make sure you
know the rules of the community if you want to participate and get people
to help you. Insulting others doesn't buy you any friends. Not just here,
anywhere in life.
Cheers
Michele
