Rude is an opinion/perception. I, as well as many others have asked *repeatedly* for people not to top-post. I'm not letting the this go. Period. If people continue to ignore the *long-standing* rules, I'll say something. In the end I wasn't a dick about it. If you look, I even said "Please". ;) > Which was fine when you were one voice among many on this list, but > you became defacto community leader for this list, and the only member > to openly support you on this list was me, and then Kenneth Wilmer in irc. I'm not the leader of this team. I lead the art for Breathe and Ubuntu Studio. Nothing more. > In this particular case your best response would be: > > "Although this project uses this list to announce additions, please > note this is not an official ubuntu project and is created by > likeminded people for likeminded people, a subset of the ubuntu art > community.

Others can monitor their language as much as I. It's a 2-way street. If anyone has some perception that I'm some respected leader around here, it's not on me. I don't want that responsibility. I help where I can and let people know what's going on with things. > You seem to have forgotten the appointed role as community leader.

They were here *long* before me. > Top posting is annoying yes, but should you be so cold in your advice? This is a perception.

In the end It's how I went and it is what it is. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
