Hi, I really dont understand the attitude of attack when somebody posts
something like this. Not everybody is competant in using Ubuntu, and not
everybody understands the risks involved especially considering for years
its been pushed as a safe OS. All i have done is post this to the group, I
dont appreciate this attitude. It doesnt give Ubuntu a good light when
people see this.
On the whole I have stopped posting to this group since there are a number
of people who are obviously on pedestals above us lowly minions. Not so long
back after starting a thread I was shot down in an unforgivably harsh manner
by people who made assumptions about me based on absolutely no evidence and
proceeded to trample all over my opinion and my self esteem.
I have said it before and I'll say it again, not everyone is an expert, not
everyone understands things that are obvious to you. Be careful how you
respond as we are supposed to be wanting to encourage mass adoption and as
many new users as possible. Insulting them, depressing them, making them
feel small, they will only leave.
I don't think we know what it was that scoundrel50a was taking
exception to as the post he complained about was not about anything he
said. Scoundrel50a can you clarify exactly what it was that worried
you?

I'm sorry but if you think that Peter Maddison's reply to me was
acceptable then I dont see the point in saying anything, and you shot me
down yourself. Which is why I answered the way I did.
I dont see any posts on here that warn people that Linux isnt completely
safe and whenever its bought up, people are treated like they are idiots
and its always those people that are knowledgeable about Linux.....the
rest of us are treated like I have been now.
An its not just this thread its thread after thread that people are
shouted down in, by the same people every time.
