Goodbye Linux/Ubuntu

[Michael Haney]

The biggest problem I have with this list all of the rampant "Elitism"
and "Newbie Hate".  It has no place here, its not wanted here, and it
just causes chaos and discord in what should otherwise be the best
damn Linux support community on the planet.

Mark Shuttleworth's vision for what Ubuntu and its community should be
is similar to Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future in Star Trek.  A
world where people have learned to get along and live together in
peaceful cooperation, where hang ups over race, age, sex and religion
have become a thing of the past.  "Infinite diversity in infinite
combinations" is as true for the Ubuntu community as it was for the
Vulcans.  Through our diversity we are made stronger, we are only as
strong as our weakest link, and its the responsibility to help those
who are our weakest links to become stronger with us.  Undermining all
of this is the "Elitist" attitude of those who don't share
Shuttleworth's vision and see Linux as their own personal playground
and to hell with everyone else.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.  This
community, this list especially, needs to stop catering to the needs
of the "very vocal" few who refuse to act civil and don't show the
same respect that they loudly demand from others.  They can learn to
place nice or they find another playground because we won't stand for
it anymore.
