[12:30] <bencrisford> *yawn* morning folks
[16:20] <czajkowski> howdy
[18:03] <nigelb> ok, wtf.  Seriously, WTF.
[18:04] <nigelb> Ben is claming on fb that his post generated 212 comments and people just cheer him on.
[18:08] <czajkowski> meh
[18:08] <czajkowski> nigelb: dont even think about it :)
[18:09] <nigelb> czajkowski: I saw too much ubuntu hate just because of that one post :(
[18:10] <czajkowski> hey I'e had folks in irish communities over me slag us off due to it
[18:10] <czajkowski> meh he;s one person doesnt speak for us all
[18:11] <nigelb> I agree with you about zooko, beautiful comment.
[18:12] <czajkowski> I've had folks say we;re all a bit fanboyish now and inhouse fighting it just portrays us in poor light.  I just point out newbie to the community, take with a Large pinch of salt
[18:12] <Pendulum> yeah
[18:12] <Pendulum> I ended up doing that with someone in the MA loco
[18:13] <czajkowski> he's in the community les than a year
[18:13] <czajkowski> so meh
[18:13]  * nigelb has also been around less than a year.
[18:13] <Pendulum> nigelb: yes, but you do stuff
[18:13] <czajkowski> yes and you dont mouth off
[18:13] <Pendulum> and you don't run your mouth
[18:14] <nigelb> :)
[18:15] <Pendulum> tbh, I'm just bored with the entire thing at this point.
[18:16] <nigelb> Me too, but I'm saddened by the image we just portaied especially by a community member.
[18:16] <czajkowski> I'm bored/annoyed/pissed off but meh nobody is gonna remove his membership nor will  he apologise for his behaviour
[18:16] <nigelb> Not cool.
[18:16] <czajkowski> he doesnt see anything wrong with his post
[18:16] <nigelb> (someday I'll learn to spell)
[18:16] <nigelb> czajkowski: exactly and there is a bunch of peple supporting his POV.
[18:16] <czajkowski> nigelb: me too don't worry :)
[18:16] <nigelb> Disgusting.
[18:16] <czajkowski> nigelb: chances are they are not Ubuntu members though
[18:16] <nigelb> Yeah, I hope so.
[18:22] <czajkowski> gym time
[18:22]  * nigelb expresses sympathies.
[18:22] <Pendulum> tbh, I don't worry about the POV. It's how he expressed it that I worry about.
[18:31] <vish> nigelb: 325 comments!  sometimes its better to just ignore than encourage, any publicity is good publicity! ;)
[18:50] <IdleOne> unhu is the word for Ubuntu in the Shona language spoken in Zimbabwe
[18:50] <IdleOne> this is a small part of what unhu is:
[18:50] <IdleOne> The individual identity is replaced with the larger societal identity within the individual. Thus, families are portrayed or reflected in the individual and this phenomenon is extended to villages, districts, provinces and regions being portrayed in the individual. This places high demands on the individual to behave in the highest standards and to portray the highest possible virtues that society strives for. "Unhu" embodies all th
[18:50] <IdleOne> e invaluable virtues that society strives for towards maintaining harmony and the spirit of sharing among its members.
[18:51] <IdleOne> Since yesterday I have felt saddened by the post by Ben and also by a lot of the comments
[18:54] <IdleOne> The CC could take away his membership status but then we would be just as bad as he has shown himself to be in that blog post. If his actions reflect on the rest of the community I believe the rest of the community are responsible for his actions. We should not be talking about removing him, instead we should be talking about how we can help him understand Ubuntu.
[19:08] <vish> IdleOne: pretty sure just commenting over here is not gonna make the CC take action , if you are hurt by the comment you can probably send a complaint to the CC... mostly everyone just wants to not give him/those comments any value or waste time on them..
[19:09] <IdleOne> vish: my comment here was not meant just for the CC. I am sure the CC is aware of this situation. I commented here because there are many community leaders in this channel.
[19:10] <vish> IdleOne: yup , i got that, but was just mentioning :)
[19:11] <IdleOne> vish :)
[19:22] <IdleOne> vish: I might be reading your comment wrong up there so I just wanted to clarify in case. I did not mean to say I think the CC should remove his membership. I was just saying they could do that but I don't believe it would help the community.
[19:25] <vish> IdleOne: hehe, we are both saying the same thing,but probably in different ways, it surely wont help wasting time on that issue.. :)
[19:26] <IdleOne> lol
