BSD impressions (Page 3 of 7)

Or the stability difference between Win98/Me and Win2000 is Win98/Me still depended on DOS at the time and 2000 ran on NT. Also, 2000 was more developed than Win98 and FAR more developed than WinMe. WinMe was a joke. XD

Artistic, techie Otaku, and that ain't changing any time soon!

Awebb may seem harsh, insulting and disrespectful from time to tome, but if you read between the lines of his postings (.. I hope, that's the correct translation for the German "zwischen den Zeilen lesen"!) - and set it in the right context - then you'll recognize that he's not very much into senselessly (.. is this word existing? o_O) insulting people or provocating them.

^ a troll is someone posting on online forums in order to irritate and anger people, and provoke their reactions with that. a troll does not add to the discussion in a meaningful way, is evasive when truly questioned to explain the arguments behind his/her claims, and will probably be regarded a nuisance by all other members of the forum.

Awebb does not fit the definition, at all. the comments on which you are quoting him are not set out to irritate or anger, they simply express a strong opinion. he has added to many a discussion in very meaningful ways, which is demonstrated in this thread as well. he will never be evasive when questioned about arguments, but will give you a straight answer. he is definitely not regarded a nuisance by all (most) members of the forum.

edit: and he is right in that you called out another forum-member with a claim that was not backed up in this thread at all. you referred to other places where you've seen him behave that way. please present us with some quotes from those so we can see where you are coming from here. i am sure your intentions are not bad.

A guy just said he found BSD to be more stable his experience and was told to take it elsewhere? I for one would have loved to hear him go into depth about why he felt that way. I mean I use linux most of the time because it works best for me, it doesn't offend me to hear about situations where it didn't work well for others.

I drove through Berkeley today a.d thought about this thread.

This thread makes me want to put openbsd on a cd, install it on my computer, then smugly claim how I'm now superior then you. Just for laughs.

lol what makes you smugger isnt BSD its self but ports

I decided to make public this pm i sent to @perpetual_beta_distro

@perpetual_beta_distro:
Hi man. I'm writing you this by the misunderstanding from the bsd thread. I didn't mean to be rude or make you leave the thread and/or the forum. #! is known to be a very open-minded community and users of any system are welcome. May be you misunderstood my comment. I just think you can talk the goodies and benefits of your preferred system, but i think it's unnecessary to stand-out (in such a remarkable and repeated manner) the weaknesses you have found in the other one (which by the way, i'm sure are mostly your fault, due to your lack of experience on it). I thought you could be doing that on purpose because you know if you're in a linux forum the common sense tells you should be respectful to the forum's 'native' system, specially coming from a foreign one. Again, that's just my personal opinion and not of any other members of this forum or the forum per se. I'm only an user just like you. So i'd appreciate you keep joining us here in the forum and on the bsd thread in which i think your contribution would be very valuable. Sorry for the misunderstanding and welcome.

@everyone:
My apologies to all users of the forum for the fact that my own opinion was erroneously taken as the forum opinion which obviously is not the case. I stand firm in my opinions and you may like them or not but it's never my intention to be disrespectful to anybody. So my apologies to anyone who felt offended by any of my comments.

p.s. : If anyone is interested in checking what are the other posts i was referring to, you can take a look at the posts of any user clicking the nickname. But honestly it really doesn't matter at this point. Let's just give this a closure and not continue with the sterile discussion. I'll just keep my opinions to myself the next time.

Cheers.
