gilbert | although i'm kinda old myself being in my 30s :o | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
paultag | Nahhh :) | 00:01 |
gilbert | well, anyway fun times fanning the flames :) | 00:03 |
paultag | totally :) | 00:04 |
gilbert | lots of bigger ones on -devel lately. i wonder if its more likely once people get cooped up during fall and winter? | 00:05 |
paultag | yeah, I bet | 00:05 |
paultag | we should run stats on that | 00:05 |
gilbert | would be pretty subjective unless you just counted # of messages per thread | 00:06 |
paultag | I mean, overall trends | 00:06 |
gilbert | true | 00:06 |
gilbert | could be more evidence supporting the declining bug #s blogs | 00:07 |
paultag | hehehe :) | 00:08 |
gilbert | interesting to see whether discussion is declining as well. i'm pretty sure it is | 00:08 |
gilbert | less flames may be percieved as good, but it also means less passion in the project | 00:08 |
paultag | mmm. | 00:09 |
gilbert | paultag: see steve's latest message? | 00:59 |
paultag | gilbert: yeah :/ | 00:59 |
gilbert | about as mindless and insulting as it could have been | 01:00 |
paultag | he's been pretty aggressive on this thread | 01:00 |
gilbert | do you know the quote about resorting to insult when you've lost an argument? | 01:02 |
gilbert | found it “Insults are the last resort of an argument lost.” - anonymous | 01:03 |
gilbert | would that be too much? | 01:03 |
paultag | hurm | 01:03 |
paultag | gilbert: just looking over a collection of my favorates for a better one | 01:04 |
paultag | Learned conversation is either the affectation of the ignorant or the profession of the mentally unemployed. | 01:05 |
paultag | (oscar wilde, the critic as artist) | 01:06 |
paultag | It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue. | 01:06 |
paultag | (oscar wilde, picture of drian gray) | 01:06 |

paultag | Erm | 01:09 |
paultag | -ECHAN | 01:09 |
paultag | fucking LAG | 01:09 |
gilbert | this 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 |
paultag | slick. | 01:14 |
paultag | I still like witty insults | 01:14 |
gilbert | done :) | 01:14 |
paultag | but that's classy :) | 01:14 |
paultag | great :) | 01:14 |

paultag | yep :) | 01:17 |
gilbert | uh, new message | 01:30 |
gilbert | oh, not directed at me | 01:30 |
paultag | :D | 01:30 |
gilbert | ugh, but it is again mindless droning. i don't think he spends time considering things that are not the way they always were...or old foggieness | 01:34 |
gilbert | anyway, enough emails tonight, i have real work to do... | 01:36 |
paultag | bleh | 01:37 |

paultag | gilbert: for Ubuntu, there's something called the "Patch Pilot" who handles patches submited during their time of duty | 18:25 |
paultag | gilbert: it's not as easy with Debian (maintainers, etc), but I always loved the idea | 18:25 |
