I know you're smart, I don't have problem having smart people with opinion in the community, that is perfectly fine and I am proud to work together with smart people. The problem here is when you, the smart person with a strong opinion failed to put you opinion at the right place. <br>
<br>Everyday in our life we do things accordingly, take a real life example, you don't play drum in the library don't you? It's the same when you go to social gathering, you don't bring your book and read it at the event when everyone else is talking to each other. Of course, there is nothing wrong about that, you just love books, books give you knowledge. But that's not the point, it's about knowing what to do when and where. <br>
<br>We are all adults, admit it unless you're a 16 years old. Nothing wrong about being emotional sometimes, but think about it for a minute.. We are all from different background, different belief and we all have a different stand slash opinion.. That's perfectly fine, no worries about that.. But here, there is a reason why this mailing list is known as Ubuntu-My Mailing List and not sangkancil mailing list... People are here to talk about tech, and not politics... We do get off topic sometimes, but atleast try to understand.. Nothing is wrong about being off topic but make sure it's not something that can turn people away. Not everyone likes to talk about politics all the time..<br>
<br>You're clearly bashing certain people, but what you failed to think is whatever thing you said is what I considered as "stereotyping". Whatever you said might be correct, but opinion is what we know., it's just "opinion", if you're having this conversation with your friends who know you, this is perfectly fine (I am repeating it again)... But, here we have over a hundred of people in this community and I am very sure, you don't know many of them and they don't know you aswell... Heck, I don't even know who you are myself.. So, man for the good of mankind and to make this world a better place to live, we should have some sort of mutual respect between all of us, we should learn to know the limit and when and where to give out our opinion.. <br>

may I sugest an aspirin or paracetamol? You do know I am kidding<br>
right?<br>
<br>
I admit that the discussion got a little off the target and the<br>
arguments were hot and passionate and that's what you get when you<br>
have a bunch of opinionated smart people.<br>
<br>
Keeping everything straight and tech may avoid passionate and heated<br>
debates but that will be defeating the whole idea of a community. What<br>
is a community without its people? When people congregate it becomes<br>
social, plain and simple.<br>
<br>
I do agree that personal attacks must be avoided. Tempers will flare<br>
and blood pressure might rise a little, but we are all adults and<br>
matured enough to know that things said here remains here right?<br>
<br>
At least I do think that way.<br>
<br>
Have a great weekend mate!<br>
