Any question that more than one person has about a Linux related issue
that is answered on this mailing list is valuable.  Openly attacking me
on list when I cannot respond on list without being accused of hostile
behavior is extremely rude and unacceptable.  Is to be any semblance of
professionalism in this community at all?  I have been silent for days,
but still people are attacking me on list with arguably little to no
provocation at this point so that I have to speak out against it.
Offering help if I do not know the issue well enough to give reasonable
let alone correct advice is not help by the way.  Nowhere in the terms
of use for this list does it say that I am aware of, "you cannot ask for
help if you do not give help to others."

That people have to go after divisive threads that are over 10 years old
to accuse me of having a, "history of hostility," is ridiculous.  I am
not hostile towards Keith, I am hostile towards calling God a woman on
list.  I stand by my comment that I hope Linus converts to some form of
religion.  Believing in God makes it easier to accept God.  Aceepting
that which one does not believe is probably the hardest thing to do, yet
for the believer, it is no trouble at all.  For those who totally reject
God, there is only Hell.

Every thread that answers a question about a Linux or OSS related topic
is a good thread for this list.  This thread does not pass this test and
frankly, it needs to die.  If answering the questions of all but certain
people, people who agree with you on everything, is offensive to you,
this list is not for you.  If you can't agree to disagree and instead
decide to openly attack a person who has been silent for days, you are
not affecting this list in a good way.  Does anyone honestly think that
I want to see attack posts from this list in my inbox day after day,
week after week?  I don't.

The statement that I am hostile towards this list is NOT a fair
statement.  I have been hostile towards only political/religious
statements which are technically not acceptable list material in the
first place.  I have never been hostile towards people helping each
other use Linux more effectively.
