Is this a real community?

Hey little Hitler, get off your own lazy a**, roll up your sleeves, and be one of those mechanics. The open source community is filled with tons of egotistical people like you who bark at everyone else and think they owe him something and won't lift one stinking little finger to help out. Your type is a dime a dozen. You're nothing more than a freaking leech. Move on.

Err, this is not exactly the tone I had in mind when I wrote that we're not afraid of discussions here on the site :-( You may want to look up "Godwin's Law" ...

bye, Dirk

Dirk, I apologize to you and the others here for using the reference Hitler but this guy has gone overboard now. He is into keyboard PMS mode and has the gall to whine because others didn't jump and implement his ideas on his time schedule. Perhaps he's used to people at his job doing this, but he has no right to expect it from strangers who aren't being paid for their time and effort here.

Dirk, you have the patience of Jobe. I don't with his type. You and the other developers don't need yet another person trying to play nagging supervisor. If he wants to save Geeklog so badly, then he should leave his big fat ego at home, roll up his sleeves, and help implement his ideas. We don't need a hot air windbag barking at others unless he wants to start paying people here money to tolerate this.

My post was to matted not Dirk. I think Dirk should have leveled him, but Dirk has always been very cordial and nice. The good old USA constitution gives me the right to speak anonymously. If you don't like it tough, I value my rights.

Since you appear to support matted, you Wayne Johns better get busy and start producing everything he wants. He will be back in another week to check on your work.

My reply was not to support anyone but to comment on what appeared an abusive post. No constitutional rights give anyone the right to abuse another anonymous or named. In 8 years of running lists and forums I have had this thrown in my face countless times. These sites are private and not given to anyone as a right and certainly not to flame or abuse whosoever it is against.

Why was this article even allowed to be published here then? His posts have done nothing, but flame the community. Once published, they are open for comments. I gave my honest opinion which is way more than you did. I don't give a flip if you agree with my approach. My constition gives me the right to argue a point in whatever fashion I want. No one can abuse or libel an anonymous alias which is what he and the others like him have posted under.

I'm tired of jerks like him who suddenly drop in with all these complaints and will not lift a little finger to help out. Before you cast a stone buddy, I have yet to see your name on anything either. Do not give me the line it is because 'I do not know php'. There are many other things a non-developer can do. You cater to the Filipino people yet have not contributed even a Tagolog translation. Perhaps if you move from the leech department into a doer you too would get irate with these jerks. I am active in another open source project and these non-do'er flamers piss me off. Until you become a doer, you won't understand the feeling of having someone else give you a laundry list of things to do but won't help out. Those of us who work on open source code are not your damn slaves.

Do not see what was done to inflame the community - was it not you who decided to name drop and done so hiding behind anonomity. We offer websites in Taglog, Cebuano and English for your info and have done for 8 years. I say again no constitution gives you the right to insult anyone. No one has inhibited your comments or moderated them so your so called constitutional rights have not be inhibited. My own comment was not to endorse the orginal poster's comment just the insult.
