        My experience, and the experience of many others, is contrary to your 
testimonial. 

        A fair person allows another to state his opinion freely without swearing at 
him, calling him names, or using vulgar sexual expletives particularly in 
defiance to the sensibilities and suggestions of *many* other participants. 
No, some are not fair, and some are most certainly barbarians. The question 
is one of perception anyway... and perception my friend is 99% of the game--- 
do opensuse project participants and leaders want a barbarian perception in 
the fair and free market place of ideas--- as it pertains to the success or 
failure of opensuse?  Think about it.

        I think an honest and forthright adherence to the Guiding Principles will go 
a long way in correctly this misunderstanding of perception.
