[vorbis] Flaming

[Sune Foldager]

By the way, my original mail was sent to vorbis-owner, so I don't know 
how it got on the list. But no matter, we might as well have it here 
:-).

Peelable vorbis would indeed be nice... and there's absolutely nothing 
wrong with liking sheep (as long as you don't like them too much I 
suppose ;-) ).

Sure, that is one way to look at them. But at least he didn't comment 
Segher's mental condition and/or use of drugs (Not thereby implying 
anything like that about Mr. Boessenkool). People are allowed to 
disagree all they want, but maybe a little more constructivism would be 
good. At least I think so.

Well, I don't agree to such a type of response on a forum such as this. 
I think that people should either address the individual points like 
you say, or make a slightly more "adult" response, excuse me for saying 
so.

Hey, he can peel all he wants; All I ask for was that maybe we all 
consider how we word our mails. Things starting like this can quickly 
go downhill. Of course I don't like people pretending they know all 
about what other people think, but I also think you are reading a 
little too much into Mr. Walther's posts. I could be wrong of course 
:-).
