[Discuss] Firefox with RedHat Fedora

[Thor Heinrichs-Wolpert]

Taras, don't go.  All lists have people that may not use the best language.  Often times people will say things on lists in a way that they have no courage to say in person.  But it does boil down to being passionate about an idea or belief.  So you'll run into that here as well as any other list or place of interaction (the bar, gas station, driving - think road rage), although I wouldn't class this response at any where near the level of road rage (no flame intended here).

This is a community to discuss and yes get passionate about things.

Look at the blasts that went bak forth between Alan and I on Novell, but (at least from memory) I don't think we went to personal shots and mostly debated the idea and our beliefs on those actions.  So we could still have beers together and debate, agree to disagree, and work towards a common goal of expanding ours and others use of Linux.

Continue to hang out here and take it for what it is, a real social environment where real interactions take place.  This will include joys and frustrations, as well as seeing the frustrations of others.

Cheers,
Thor HW
