I cant imagine what happened on the ubuntu lists, maybe they were throwing foam balls at each other or something... This thread to me seems pretty tame though as opposed to some - maybe a Nerf match?

Jeez guys.... > They'll work it out and we'll be fine, OK? You have a point though, and some dignity and tact need to remain; and I agree - if you don't like something try and find a way to fix it, offer helpful advice/criticism, work with beta versions of the installer (or whatever bothers you).
