This is to be expected and will only get "worse" as Ubuntu gains 
popularity. It happens on all lists from time to time and creating an 
easy to use Linux distro lowers the barrier even more. When running 
Ubuntu in a VPS is the height of leet system admin skills how could you 
not argue even a tiny, insignificant detail?

One of the issues with open lists in general is they attract trolls and 
people out to prove something, as long as the Code of Conduct is not 
actually enforced on here there will continue to be abuses. I'm not 
really for censorship though, learning to sift through the junk is an 
important online skill.
