Tomasz,
The best defence against such childish behaviour is to
consider the source and not bother to respond. You're above such
childish behaviour, the child is not.
Don't bother responding to it...
I'll bite, who's childish ? We can't tell, because you decided to
top-post.
I'm trying to figured out the "childishness" aspect as well...while the
insinuation that ClamAV is outdated because it doesn't detect those IRC
bots wasn't the most mature response in the world, I can certainly see
why he'd say that after the reception he got on the list.
As for the top posting, pointing it out is a bit off topic and
contributes nothing to resolving the issue...even though I would agree
with your implications :-)
So far in the thread I've seen a guy try to help out by submitting
stuff (in an incorrect manner?) to be detected that currently isn't,
people respond inappropriately to someone trying to be helpful, someone
replying to that inappropriate reply by asserting that when there's an
implication that ClamAV isn't the best that those people are ridiculed
and marginalized instead of having their opinion taken seriously, and
that message is met with an accusation of being childish without
explanation. I would start to wonder as an outsider if this is an
elitist attitude within a group using/developing ClamAV...would they
prefer that if you don't actively promote or develop Clam that you just
go away and leave them be? Or is this just a rogue group with big
voices making the group look bad?
