Ty,
I understand your frustration, but please consider whether your
approach is constructive. "Friends" is one of the four foundations of
the Fedora community and starting the thread with insults goes beyond
the bounds of healthy disagreement. Please keep our Code of Conduct[1]
in mind as you participate in Fedora.
Then you also understand the entire thread was made *because* Fedora was
being in inconsiderate and disrespectful to both Nvidia, myself, and
other developers, right? Please, don't start with the "rules for me, not
for thee" nonsense. I wasn't the first to start this, by far. I brought
this issue up months ago *very* nicely and was basically told it's
Nvidia's fault without anyone actually knowing what was going on.
Fedora's unwillingness to play well with others who don't agree with
their Open Source ideology has been a long standing issue and
hypocritically breaks its own CoC. Maybe you should have a meeting about
that?
I understand a basic level level of decency is required, but that
decency goes both ways and it absolutely hasn't been. If you find
anything wrong with what is said, point the specific case out and do so
publicly. I have idea what exact part of the CoC was broke and cannot
make any changes as a result nor will I be intimidated by private email
threats.
These CoC's that your type like to use are just weapons of hypocrisy
used to be abused by silencing others. Worse yet, they result in loss of
productivity. Anyone else notice the Linux kernel's quality has went
down since Linus started acting all nice? I sure have! IIRC, there was a
nice bug that resulted in Steam not launching. What's the number one
rule in the kernel? Don't break user space. Yeah, that went out the
window real fast didn't it? It could be coincidence, but I've used Linux
for many years before that and never had an issue. The kernel has always
been the most well tested part of Linux by far.
...but I digress.
