^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this is utter nonsense. this is not going to hurt linux a bit.
it will only serve to reinforce that there are some limits of
civility that if crossed, can have consequences, even over the free
medium of the net. it'll in fact be a good thing if a lesson
is made of this, so people realise that such attacks will not
be tolerated .  all powers to Swati in her case against such abuse. this 
will be good for linux and internet in the long run.

I must say I find your high-priest like sermons to the linux
community rather shallow and self-serving.
talking about a growing cess-pool, the bulk of rag00's ire was
directed against you and your actions or lack thereof, so I don't see
how you can glibly lay the blame on the entire linux community for
what happened.

anyway, enough of these touchy-feely threads of fragile egos
rending their oh-so-hurt emotions out for all to see.
some of the 'men' on this list are more emotional than most
women i've met. and that too on a technology related mailing list.
some of us just need to grow up !

just speaking my mind out.
