DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Tweak for the "Getting Started" page

I do not insult, nor was I imitating (mocking) anyone here... Guru is a compliment!
Yeah...k.  It's easy to redefine your intentions when it's all just plain text. It's easy to claim you were not insulting when the text can be respoken in new light. The truth is you know, I know, we all know what you were saying. The bottom of your post reiterates the fact that you were just being sardonic.

Both you and cbagger are (from what I've seen) highly regarded here on this forum... As LEADERS both of you should try to hold yourselves to higher standard as doing so only helps promote DSL and Linux overall, and NOT doing so only helps ruin DSL's reputation (which in turn hurts John and Roberts hard work)... Even if you do hold some resentment towards those who ask... If you have any respect for John and Roberts work; you wouldn't take the chance of hurting their work's reputation.
What's that, now...guilt?  I wear the stocking of indifference. Maybe you're concerned with the opinions that others have of you, i don't know.  Maybe you think reputation and wealth is important.  Personally i don't.  I'm well aware that I'm not a bad person.  I'm not going to change my behavior or let someone make me feel bad about it.  If what i do reflects poorly on the devs, they know how to delete a post.  I'm not going to waste my energy trying to be nice just because you think it would be in the best interest of the DSL project.  I'm not here to help John or Roberts with their reputation or help them make money...i'm here because I like the project, and i want to share what i know and what i'm learning.

We are not leaders.  We are users who like to share ideas and knowledge.  That's it.
I hold no resentment...i get annoyed just like anyone else. If i resented the newbies, i wouldn't be here trying to help them.

I'm not trying to make you look like you don't know what you're talking about...I just don't appreciate being insulted or preached to. When you state your ideas and beliefs, you give an opinion.  When you start telling people how they should behave, you're stepping over the line.

I'm done with this thread.
If my last post was unclear:

I'm done with this thread too.
The guru's came, they shouted, and then they ran away.

Well Carpet Bagger and Milkshaw Ghoti, whether you wish to admit it or not. Your 'indifference' really shows your level of caring and may be indicative of an even greater level of emotional ineptitude... Moreover, it proves my point that you were attacking all along.

Why else would you fire off your suppositions and then try to run from the dispute?

Neither of you had to say anything about my initial post here, yet you did thus expressing your contempt.

The truth hurts doesn't it MG?

Everything's ok so long as the guru's are the ones who have something to say, but heaven help those who are not of that 'elite' click. For they will be verbally flogged in text, as if there's really a REAL reason to do so.

I feel sorry for the guest that actually flies an insult... What do you do with them?.. Wait, I'll pretend I'm inside your head now... You simply accept them into your click, happy to have yet another to help alienate those who aren't of your group.

Moreover, do you really think that you are inside of my head? If not you certainly state as if you do. Why else do you say that you know what I mean, when you, yourself have presented misinterpretations of the meanings of words.

Yet when I challenge 'your' definitions (with accurate definitions), you shift the context yet again in order to avoid the topic.

You're the one who keeps trying to justify himself.

That quote you took off of my post PLAINLY STATES about your reputations, which reputation is dictated by how you appear to others. Rather than what you think about yourself.

Wasting energy? Look how much energy you put into trying to make a simple guest look bad?.. Mainly because (as you put it) you thought I worked for Microsoft. :laugh:

If it's really so tiring to help others, why don't you just go back to your drawings and save the helping for those who actually care. ???

Also, good people do not show indifference to those they 'claim' to support.

Well, backpedel and try to mask what has transpired here; it makes no difference.

Simply because, now it is in text for all to see just how much of actual guru's you actually are!

And here I thought I was deal

Do you like being flogged?  Better boards for that than this one.  They might even enjoy reading your rhetorical arguments.
