I did so with the last message he sent me yesterday (and posted on the list). Was a bunch of hard to follow series of sentence. But this confirm that it seems to be a choice done on having incomprehensible messages and loose talk, because he did write some clear and well written message. I feel that many person cherry pick one message, like the one I wrote and got out of context, talking about a Lynch mob. Often when someone ask for help, we'll answer back that there's information missing so we can answer properly. Example, the person say *I can't start X11* And we'll ask What version of Debian are you running ? What are the outputs ? Logs ? What's your graphic card / GPU ? etc... Why do we do so ? So our answer is relevant. Same rules apply when giving comment, if you want to have it relevant then look at the whole story. Or you'll only get a part and go off track. And it's exactly what happened here. We got someone who add a sentence relating to a lynch mob. Where it wasn't the case in no way. And those are the same person that are unable to justify what they say, but wanna benefit from free speech to add a point. *Dider*: There's some similarities between this dude and two others troller. *Dude*: You have no proof it's me *Dude*: You have no proof it's me... I post someone's Passport ID page. *Me*: Posting a passport id page is a criminal offense in most countries AND doesn't proof much, except maybe that you'd be dumb to post your own. *Greg* says : That's a for of guilt admission, not saying "I didn't do it" but saying "No proof". *Me* : Exactly, it's not a court of law here. So it's not about proof but about what will people get from what you say. *and now the best* *Irrelevant writer* : This is a acting mob looking for a lynch. I'd start to also call this some strange form of trolling. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
