Of course... for this discussion. I believe that we can work through our
differences without being rude, and the Guiding Principles are a good start
toward that end.

I do not hijack threads; however, I have continued an offtopic thread
(already hijacked) because I thought it was ok. Other people do this on the
opensuse list routinely... its not just me. Although, I am trying to change
that, for my part at least.
I admit freely that I post [OT] stuff all the time... and in the process
trying to find the correct way to do that so that your time is not wasted...
I genuinely thought that opensuse[OT] was ok... but have resigned myself to
the idea that opensuse-offtopic is the only way, and I agree.
I hate FUD. My posts are *always* an attempt to add truth and to eliminate
FUD. The only thing you have to fear is fear itself--- I'm certain of that,
you need not doubt it.

No. I don't want to waste anyone's time. I'm just searching for the right
balance for participation in issues that affect opensuse in the proper
context and venue so that no one is offended.

As a member of the free software movement one small part of my personal
agenda is to dismantle the patent system (with regards to software, music,
literature) in the United States... and around the world.
I am also a dedicated computer scientist committed to assisting the open
software community and the opensuse community specifically to achieve all
that they can be globally as a distribution and as a community.
> You admit you troll and make people waste time with those irrelevant and
disrupting discussions?
I deny that I am a troll. My intent is never to disrupt... but all truth does
that. My intent is never to waste time... but contemplating new ideas always
takes time... My intent is never to troll... never.

And you are begging the question--- I asked please, tell me why Alexey
Eremenko was attacked? Did you apologize to him? How did you make him feel?
> You should stop posting and stop making people waste their time with
> your sick discussions ...
The reason you want me to stop posting is because I'm right, and you do not
agree with me. It is that simple. Simple censorship. Instead, you might
want to see what benefit the discussion might have for your distro, your
business success, your career, and your fellowship. I am not the enemy---
and I am trying to help.
