Re: [PLUG] about people who "leaving" as a result of heated discussion


This is pretty much what happend tho, alot of it started turning into 
personal attacks, which was bad. If it had been kept as just a minor battle
between apt and rpm, or this distro and another, it probably would've ended
up being more informative (to some degree or another). But when the
mudslinging began, thats when the real problem started..
