Re: [orca-list] FTP server: I'm obviously doing something wrong, although probably am on the right track.

. Nimer, I apologize that you thought my message was rude in nature. 
I'll admit, I was a bit sarcastic with the things I said, perhaps to the 
point of coming across a bit rudely, even though that definitely as 
stated in my message wasn't my intentions.


2. Explain to me how that rm -R command I did would have gotten me 
banned, or how that would have done dammage if someone had tried it? I 
didn't even give a valid path to any file or directory, let alone a 
nmission critical command.


3. Further, Never once did I tell people to issue the command. It 
shouldn't be my responsibility to do so! Though I completely understand 
your point in me being possibly banned, and though on your lists, as you 
being the owner, it would be your right to do so, I think your logic on 
this is a bit over-reactive. It's not like I gave a valid command 
using... word of warning to those who're thinking to try this, don't! 
It's not like I gave a valid mkfs command on a critical partition. I'm 
not that stupid! My point is, I shouldn't have to baby people into 
holding their hand telling them, don't try this or that. Yes, it would 
have been courteous of me to have done so, OK, your point is well taken, 
but come on! Banning me for such comment? Really? I'd hope this list, or 
any! for that mind, would have by its subscribers enough sense to know, 
the lists come with no warranty, and no express of liability if you 
choose to do something a member tells you, and then things go boom. 
Quite frankly, Nimer, anyone, you, me, Andy, anyone! on any! tech list 
chooses to take the advice given for what it is... advice. Not 
professional advice. It would be like you telling me my head hurts, I 
saying my advice? Take an Asperin. Then you die two days, God forbid, 
later, on account of me being wrong to think a headache, when it 
actually was a full-on aneurysm. My point is, I'm not a pro. You took my 
advice at your own risk. That's extreme, all be it, but, my point still 
stands.


My point being, if you issue a command, and don't know what it does, 
even slightly, yet, you choose just for fun to try it, then frankly, and 
yeah, this will be rude, probably, but It's the only part of this 
message that I do! tend to be a little blunt: frankly? if you do that, 
who's then really! the demented here? I don't normally speak that way 
about people. We've talked on the phone once or twice, Nimer. You I'd 
hope should know that. But, admittedly, I do think you're over-reacting, 
and I do think, as a US citizen, I do have the right to that opinion, 
all be it correct or not.


Enough said. I appreciate your explanation of the list, even though to 
be honest, people have posted things in the past here totally unrelated 
to Orca, actually, even fairly often, yet haven't gotten their heads 
bitten off. Why me, and not them?


Now, I'm really done. Enough said.  Please, I kindly ask, do not anyone 
further, not Andy, not you, no one, privately nor publicly write me 
further on this subject. In fact, I'd appreciate the admins locking the 
thread forever, if that be feezable, if not though, I understand. If 
this does get me banned from the list for what I've said, well... I'm 
sorry, but so be it. It won't be the first time, and I highly doubt 
either it'll be the last.


Chris.
