[Interest] Netiquette [was: Feature Request - QtCreator - Multiple right margins]

[mail at herrdiel.de]

"All",

somebody who calls a whole platform "idiot" lacks any respect for those
who work in that field. Doing so repetetively whenever mentioning
"phones", is not a slip of the keyboard but is done intentional - which
puts the author in the very vincinity of his own vocabulary.

I don't want to read this kind of indignity ever and anon. I've rarely
seen such constantly condescending and trolling behavior being
tolerated  as long as with this individual.

Loaden with self-advertizing links, his rants and unproven premises
often need no more factual base than his opinion and in their
narcissistic self-repetition they have long become spam. It is fine to
have an opinion. It's ok to state it clearly. But to hawk it with
almost every email and in every non-related context is getting a tad
tedious.

I don't want programmers (like me) to be insulted as "script kiddies"
and "12 year old boy"s with "shabby skill levels" that write "idiot
apps" for "idiot phones" that have "the lifespan of a fruit fly". It's
ok to be carried away a bit, but these deliberate defamations are a pattern.

I don't want to read all that self-righteous boasting about his
experience from the age of vacuum tubes and Zuse I. I just don't care.
It's just OT, as Giuseppe D'Angelo pointed out a while ago.

I don't want to read stuff like "QML (puke)" from somebody who has long
passed puberty.

I do appreciate the open discussion style on this list. I even do
appreciate a somewhat harsh style, if it has a factual base and is
getting straight to the point instead of b*s*ing around. But those
lengthy wallpapers our President of Logikal solutions commonly utters,
have long since crossed the border from amusing to annoying.

As for me, I have just plonked Roland Hughes again (no, not the first
time). But that doesn't help if I have to read through all the
avalanches of replies who just feed the troll (like mine now, probably).

I'd be happy to see him banned, at least temporarily. But then again, I
am just a 12-y-o script kiddie (not true) with a shabby skill level
(true), so you won't really need advice from me.

Sorry for the rant. Won't happen again on this topic.

Sebastian
