OK. I think you need to step back a little and apply the above to this situation. By that I mean how you are interacting with others, not the various questions about systemd, how many NICs a board has in general and so on. The results you are getting are far from optimum - you may eventually get an answer that satisfies you but in general it is involving long winding threads that frustrate others. So I suggest you apply reason and investigation to determine why that might be so. One highly workable method is when you find yourself taking a contrary position and about to explain why you think what you think, then reverse it. Instead, state that you disagree, that you think something else and invite the other to explain why they are saying what they are saying. This method has high success in revealing to you what it is you have to realise first, as you mention above) > > >> This list (gentoo-user) contains the brightest minds, widest range of >> experience (both CS-related and just generally in life), most articulate >> and surprisingly, most tolerant, bunch of people I have ever come across >> online; and I've been here for 10 years and doing online for 20+ years >> and the above is not meant idly. >> >> I can't watch you type and I can't get in your headspace but based just >> on what I read from you, your communications say something that is >> frankly, very insulting to those individuals.

No, it's about people and how people communicate concepts and ideas. It's about how Dale is a long term contributor and people generally think well of him and how statistically he is right more often than he is wrong. He's worth paying attention to. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
