Your attitude is why many people look on your posts with disdain, Tom. It also sets up a false premise. The rule is not set up to alienate new users, and as long as people are simply *and* *politely* pointed to the rules, new users should *not* be offended when this is pointed out to them, and the vast majority *would* not be offended - exceptions being people like you... > It is not acceptable to blindly follow orders or rules that cause > harm or are ridiculous. Another false premise... the posting guidelines do not cause harm and are not ridiculous - in fact, when properly followed, they cause *goodness*... What *is* ridiculous and *does* cause harm is when people intentionally misrepresent them in order to support their own predilection for laziness - like you have been doing since this subject first came up. > If TDF set a rule that said that all users must walk backwards would > you obey it? Would you berate people that didn't follow it? No, and no, but of course, your comparison is about as appropriate as comparing someone who kills a mosquito that is pestering them to a child rapist/murderer. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
