RE: [PLUG] FW: flame wars

Passive Aggressive. I think that is what Dan Gotlieb would call it.
And Yes, I top posted.
I almost quit the list AGAIN. Who has time to spend on this? I want
information on Linux not a flame war.

My feelings exactly.
As for baiting vs. taking the bait, my wife sees this among 4th graders
all the time. A trouble maker, too smart to risk getting in trouble
himself, keeps poking at someone to set /them/ off. He gets the rush
while the other kid gets in trouble. Howard seems good and practiced at
this. I saw a lot of people who never caused problems on this list, to
my knowledge, take his bait; I did so myself.
People who get their rush by getting others to lose it get a big part of
their fulfillment when their targets get into trouble. Please don't
feed into that.
