I don't know the history Roy but in 2007 the individual in question was 
a 16 year old kid involved with Ubuntu development which is likely 
important to know to keep the events that occurred in perspective.
Given the crap you regularly take in this group I admire the restraint 
you show here.  I can't comment on BN as I'm not a regular follower of 
things there.
My comments were in relation to the constant name calling and personal 
attacks in COLA and from the sidelines both Advocates and Non-Advocates 
alike seem to be involved in that.  I guess I have trouble understanding 
that aspect of things here as the people advocating and those being 
critical are intelligent and could hold some excellent debates about 
issues without needing to resort to that level. I don't profess to be 
perfect at that myself but after reading the article referenced I'll 
certainly keep trying.
