Comment (by erodgers):
I've read through the transcript several times now. (I'm quite obsessed!)
The quieting issue is understood, thanks dcr226.
Granted, the insulting was partly my own perception of the response, but:
*Chucklehead
*Troll
*Being told to listen and LEARN
*Wrong, wrong, wrong
*After providing some credentials, being accused of "BS"
All to a total stranger, mind you, is a tad insulting, especially when at
no time did I personally insult him.
He rudely dismissed my requests to clear the air and explain my
statements.
All the more infuriating is that nothing I said was untrue.
*Fedora RC3 did in fact get "gold" status last night, I saw the fedora-
meeting transcript. I was merely encouraging the new user to follow
zeitgeist's advice to install 15, by suggesting that 15 is ready for prime
time.
*"sudo su" as written in the module compile instructions is not wrong,
stupid, ignorant, etc. It is a quite sensible way of doing things, which
is why OSX, ubuntu, Windows, and many others lock the admin password, and
assign sudo privs to the "installing" user. Locking out the root password
is slightly more secure, especially in a server environment, where I am
used to working. I found it refreshing when I saw the "Admin user" check
box in F15 installer, to allow the installing user to run super-user
commands without the root password.
I really hate that my first taste into contributing to fedora support was
so rapidly met with such arrogant pig-headedness. (Yes, now I am
insulting him :)
I'm sorry for wasting so much of everyone's time here, and I truly
appreciate this opportunity to try to "clear my good name", so to speak,
in this feedback ticket.
I would gladly work this out privately with zeitgeist, but he does not
allow private chat requests. (understandable)
