Using Ubuntu absolves the user of personal responsibility?

[Gabriel M Dragffy]

Like a bunch of kids in here. Can you stop filling my inbox with all
this argumentative flame sh*t. I know that you'll tell me that I'm quite
free to unsubscribe or some kind of abnoxious suggestion like that.
However if it's all the same to you I'd much prefer to enjoy this list
the way it was before this thread was born. So it's my suggestion that
you guys take a deep breathe and move on to pastures new and put smiles
back on your faces. Good girls!
