gilbertwell, anyway fun times fanning the flames :)00:03

gilbertlots of bigger ones on -devel lately.  i wonder if its more likely once people get cooped up during fall and winter?00:05
paultagyeah, I bet00:05
paultagwe should run stats on that00:05
gilbertwould be pretty subjective unless you just counted # of messages per thread00:06
paultagI mean, overall trends00:06
gilberttrue00:06
gilbertcould be more evidence supporting the declining bug #s blogs00:07
paultaghehehe :)00:08
gilbertinteresting to see whether discussion is declining as well.  i'm pretty sure it is00:08
gilbertless flames may be percieved as good, but it also means less passion in the project00:08
paultagmmm.00:09

paultaggilbert: yeah :/00:59
gilbertabout as mindless and insulting as it could have been01:00

paultagErm01:09
paultag-ECHAN01:09
paultagfucking LAG01:09
gilbertthis is what im going to say: Anyway, deployment of an abusive ad hominem is generally seen as a concession of the argument to the opposing side of the discussion, so I think that puts a rather sour note and an end to this particular unproductive sub-thread.01:12
