How many? Could you list some name of those barbarians and quotes where
someone who was really insulted or attacked?

Names were never used for what I remember. I again ask for examples,
quotes, name of authors. You're making serious accusations, so you must
have good profs.

What you don't understand is that the success of openSUSE is bound to

quite evident), and let this hypothetical marketing (real marketing is
something else) stuff out.

Human communication is made of perception too, there is nothing to
correct about that.
