I think you got it backwards.

Nobody want's to see that Oracle plague infested spaghetti-codebase of an leviathan crawling back out of it's hole ( unless you are IBM ).

What people are wanting to see is for ASF to man up, shot it in the head then light it on fire and bury it's remains in the hole it already has dug itself and crawled into. ;)

Oh plz drop your archaic reference to usenet and your loyalty to OpenOffice in the process Sebastian.
This was known outcome the day that Oracle touch it and later dropped the ball on the community when it already had left.
This endless rerun of OpenOffice inevitable demise and the melodrama that surrounds OOo and how it has fallen into despair, disrepair, and relative abandonment that as been filling the internet since twenty eleven is long passed it's due.
Just take it into the backyard and out of it's misery before StarOffice legacy gets disgraced even further than it already has.
Accept the reality for what it is and be proud knowing that the legacy that now carries onward and lives in LO once was StarOffice.

One last comment before I continue ignoring your future posts (you did go into my ignore file). I do object to your impolite and offending bile. Being followed by an emoticon does not make it any less offending and impolite!

I do not know how you come to think I am loyal to OpenOffice, my first commit into the LO repository was on 28-Sep-2010 for what its worth, when was your first constructive contribution besides offending people?

But whatever your stance on LO and AOO, treating people who invest voluntary time with respect is the very least that one can do. One can disagree, one can argue but sentences and analogies like yours are not something that one should tolerate in any civilized community.

S Paetz. Hmmm.

Are you by any chance related to the famous (in psychiatric circles at least) Dr Albrecht Paetz from AltScherbitz?

Cheers,
Wol

That's rather interesting having ones colourful descriptions being judged from an individual that puts people in his "kill file" so tell me again about that civilized community you were referring to since it most certainly is not the one that you originate from now is it.

How I communicate is something I learned after series of events contributing my free time to a community through period ( of rather thankless ) 8 years it's not how I was when I started wet behind my ears but I quickly learned and adapted and build an immunity up to a certain point.

You can see this "dominant" communication method reaching all the way up to the highest level of the linux ecosystem, the kernel community with those being the individuals that set the example and tone for the rest of the linux ecosystem as an role model whether they like it or not.

How people respond,react and perceive communication is based on the environment in which they were raised which shapes their personality thus their "feelings" hence communication can never be "politically correct" no matter how hard it's tried but that does not prevent people from judging them (the perceived role models) as either good or bad ( something which does not exist ) based on that persons own perception which was shaped by that individuals environment.

If you remove the form of communicating from series of word written in text with video/audio instead you will see a completely different behaviour pattern in people and another one if people are met directly in persons.

That said contributing your free time to a community of any kind not just opensource or software in general is thankless work and will continue to be so until children are taught to put value on their own free time hence will start respecting others free time as an result of that.

However in a world driven by greed that's an effort that precisely will be prevented from happening as is being done already for a lot of man made problems which are often associated with the ( incorrect ) term of "saving the planet" when in fact "saving the human race" is the correct one.

Do you perceive the world you are currently living in with the rest of us as being "civilized" or ever been civilized in it's history ?
