#narrowminded

@omgubuntu
There are all kinds of people nowadays.
TBH, IDK why many of them have to create their story about how things actually happen, and then follow it and consider they are the only who have the truth and all the others are deaf silly ones. When actually, they are the #narrowMinded ones…

BTW, I hope you won't give up cause of messages like this.
Yes, it's true that #OMGUbuntu doesn't seem to have as many members as other #Linux-related blogs, and yeah, #OMGUbuntu **is** more focused on certain topics, but it doesn't mean it isn't interesting and worth it. I always like your articles, as they're often funny, and often with interesting #POVs, so you sometimes make me understand the things in other ways.
So yeah, keep up the fantastic work!

BTW, are you planning to provide #paid-only articles and others? In order to support the #blog?

A quotation from Ann Rice

Ah, Stefan, give me a man or woman who has read a thousand books and you give me an interesting companion. Give me a man or woman who has read perhaps three and you give me a dangerous enemy indeed.

Anne Rice (1941-2021) American author [b. Howard Allen Frances O'Brien]
The Witching Hour, Part 2 (1990)

@TomAoki multiple separate overlapping of-topic discussions are inevitable at times such as this.

Partly off-topic, one of the things that I love about Discourse is the automated cross-referencing (linking) when quoting from one topic in another. Readers can be aware of the spread of things, with zero fuss.

There can be no cure for the few people who will not tolerate Internet links (to external content, beyond the bubble of The FreeBSD Forums).

That aside: a shift from XenForo to Discourse could, slowly but effectively, cure a fair amount of what's problematic – without admin/moderator intervention. True: the most hostile offenders might, in the early months of a transition, abuse the aspects of Discourse through which moderation is automated.

The optimist in me believes that Discourse is mature enough for such abuse to become apparent, and then easily stamped out. Result:

― a better community, for everyone.

Food for thought, <forums.truenas.com/>:

― the result of a swiftly executed, effective move from XenForo to Discourse.

"And then the smothering feeling set in, the wondering whether there was more to life than what I was being shown. And I knew I had to escape. I wanted to meet different kinds of people, I wanted different experiences, I wanted to learn new things, and none of that was going to happen in a small town in northern Ohio. I couldn’t wait to leave."

Text from article:
question the things I had been taught, and I found no one in my hometown who offered good answers. I was just told to be quiet: by my teachers, by my friends, by my church and even by my parents. And then the smothering feeling set in, the wondering whether there was more to life than what I was being shown. And I knew I had to escape. I wanted to meet different kinds of people, I wanted different experiences, I wanted to learn new things, and none of that was going to happen in a small town in northern Ohio. I couldn’t wait to leave.

My story isn’t unusual. There are many like me in this country. People who could not wait to put their small hometowns in the rearview mirror because they couldn’t or wouldn’t fall in line. People who dreaded the thought of going back to them on holidays because, at the moment your feet land on the ground where you were raised, the memories come flooding back. You dread the moment when you run into someone from high school who wants to talk about how great it was. But you have nothing to add to this conversation because you don’t remember the glory days in quite the same way. And you dread the assumption that many will make that you somehow think you’re a big shot simply because you ran for your life.
