I dunno. Does he ever post anything other than "CAn some1 u/l to my server?" or "Is this on my FTP?" or "WHO has [completely non-K-related track] and can encode and u/l?"? Yes he did.
and the ratio of ftp vs help is?
He has contributes and helped out lost of people also.
so did the ppl who left because of it
one person posting about 120 times "STOP THIS NONSENSE" on the KLF mailinglist because of some small fight.
from memory, i believe it was the same fight. i can check if you'd like.
That was much worse than this. Second, he did not "inspire" anyone to do so. If a computer game inspires you to kill people, it's still *your* fault, not that of the game's creators.
hmm..thats debateable. if i post straightup offensive racist crap posts, and then someone complains, it sure would seem like i inspired it.
In the months since that agreement, did he consistently fail to do so? I never saw him agreeing on anything. An agreement is usually made between two parties, of which he wasn't one.
i'm too lazy now to go check, but no so lazy i wont reply. generally, in matters that affect a lot of people, not all of who are actively reading and posting, a majority vote is generally taken as the lists wishes. the list wishes he'd put in [FTP]. maybe not technically an agreement i agree. however, it still stands that people are annoyed with his lack of effort in typing six keystrokes
And even then you bother to bore us with your nerd-like mailing-list behaviour 'rulez0rz', or whatever you guys call it.
i take offensive with that. its not nerd like. its bloddy historical fact. you really shouldnt debate technical matters if you dont know what goes on at a technical level. RMStringer has already tried that. it just shows your ignorence of whats going on. and nobody has ever typed in 'skript kiddie' that i recall. happy to be corrected though - just post the sender and date and time of the list mail that did, and I'll happily dig out my archives and check.
Still this is a problem of that one person leaving. I have joined this list for KLF, not to learn about mailinglist-trivia-nerd-rulez0r-stuff.
I also joined for klf news, just not FTP news.
Let us count the number of people who really are bothered by this issue at all... eehm... 1?
jeez Marijn, how long have you been on the list? if you bother to check the archives, you'll see this has happened time and time again, and theres more than 1 person who's bothered by it. if you're gonna debate, at least have some idea of what led up to the debate, and preferably some understanding of it too. lets take a different point of view for a moment, and see what you think of the ending. lets just assume that rmstringer cant get it, and continues to post without the preface. thats fine, cos after all "you can just hit delete". then, what if everyone who doesnt like it, responds to the list with a simple message reminding him that he didnt do it. its no problem to you, cos you can "just hit delete". now, lets assume theres a lot of ppl who remind him. you're hitting delete a lot now, doesnt it get annoying?
