list rules [was: Reconfigure after changing Video Card]

[Michael Haney]

Unless its in the CoC it CANNOT BE ENFORCED.  A loud and vocal few
cannot be allowed to dictate their own version of the rules to the
majority.  It undermines the integrity of the community, undermines
the authority of the moderators, and shines an unfavorable light on
the reputation of lists.ubuntu.org and its admins as a whole.

The Linux Community already has a tarnished image in the minds of most
non-Linux users.  They see us as stuck up and bitter jerks at most,
and a bunch of criminal hackers at worst.  Canonical and Mark
Shuttleworth founded Ubuntu on the principle of cooperation and
kindness towards others.  Whether you want to accept it or not
lists.ubuntu.org is where most new users will either develop a good or
bad first impression of our community.   If we don't stick by the
principles upon which Ubuntu was founded then we are not only hurting
ourselves, but we are DISRESPECTING the hard work of all those who
helped make Ubuntu as great as it is today.  All of the developers in
the community, the QA people, the Beta Testers, and the man who made
all this possible.

Yes, every time a self-appointed Net Cop or Troll opens their mouth to
utter their usual BS they're spitting in the face of Mark
Shuttleworth.  It had to be said, but that's what they're doing.
