Participation and Posting at Skunkworks
by David Mugo 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Guys, Hope this is not beyond the lines. I have realized recently that there is a very deep political mood going on at skunkworks. Recently I posted a post coz I needed some help on a CentOS issue (Which I actually got from a skunkworks member) and immediately got attacks from @aki and very rude advise on Googling the issue instead of posting here. Up to now, I cannot figure out where this came from. I have seen similar topics after that and am still waiting for @aki to pose the same attacks, I dont see any. Am just seeking guideline and understanding, what is skunks about? Isnt it about sharing and assisting each other on IT issues? Now @aki defines it as a social group, I have seen topics ranging from fitness centers to advertisements, are we not diverting this too far? I have always felt as a part of skunks but its starting to freak me out. David. -- ------------- http://blog.majibu.com
