Departing from linux-il list
Hi all,
Today I decided to leave this mailing list. This is due to
the attitude of some members of the list. In this letter I'll try to
explain my move, and if some of you feel like me - please write to my
email address. Who knows - may be there are enough of us to establish a
mailing list...
In the last days more then 10 letters were around the subject of the
behavior of Marc A. Volovic. Also I found out that there are members who
approve of this behaviour. I had enough of it.
I am registered to other lists deal with Linux items. Never I saw such a
behavior there. A new user of linux wrote a trivial question? - so he gets
pointers to the documentations, and sometimes even the answer. What's
wrong with that? (BTW - those are not moderated lists!).
What are the objectives of linux-il? To show how to embarrass
people in public?
I think the objectives are to discuss about Linux items and to spread
knowledge of this great operating system.
I find it stupid and arogant to laugh in public about the ignorance of
other people. Those people who ask so-called stupid questions might be a
lot more clever in the future. I would like to help them or at least -
not to stop them.
In order that a mailing list which is not moderated will live, the people
in that list must be very tolerant and modest.
I feel that linux-il is actually a moderated list - no, no - there is no
one who technically censors some letters - but I found that people don't
like to send mail and be flamed afterwards.
This is bad - I don't think there is a lot of members in that list who took
very organised course in Linux. Even people who know a lot might learn from
the "trivial" questions.
And I would like to see more and more people use Linux. Not only people
who learned UNIX systems for at least 2 years, not only people who read all
the books about it, not only people who wrote drivers for the kernel, NOT
ONLY THE LATIN SPEAKERS!
I was suprised to see that other members of Linux-il like to see how
people are flamed, and even were kind of proud of it in the Linux-il
FAQ. So I decided to make a move and exit from this place. After two
years of working with Linux, part of it as full time job, I still feel
that I have a lot more to learn. And as a learner I'll not stay in a
place were I'm not welcome.
