I find it amazing that you (Jeremiah) spent dozens of emails calling people names and cursing at them, and as soon as someone puts an argument in front of you, you tell them to relax and go outside for a walk. I have had NO intention of turning this discussion into a personal flame war. Our views differ, and that's that. If you take personal offence, oh well. And as for changing the FAQ, I did, in fact, notice earlier today someone mentioned that they would ADD IN info about #freebsdhelp. To address the problem and completely clarify the FAQ, it should not say "#FreeBSD is a FreeBSD forum". It should instead say "there's this channel on IRC which we're not directly related to". It's called covering your butt. And yes, in the end run, it's all true - you can't change what people think or do on IRC. And yes, there are trigger happy people without patience abounding. I also never said that you're "trying to take over the forum". If you interpreted that from what I wrote, oh well. In the end run, there's no way to gauge if trigger-happy ops on a channel bearing the project name does or does not affect the expansion of the project. As I write this, I see that Jordon's spoken up on the topic... time to go read that, and, my guess is, let it end there. --John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
