This custom titles have gone haywire now and the thread has completely lost the subject it was started for. I wish if everyone has stuck to the topic it would not have been personal attack on jeremy.
Personal attacks are never warranted, Jeremy is very easy going and does not now, nor ever has, attacked a member personally. If anyone has a problem with the way Jeremy runs his own site I would strongly suggest you either email him directly or create a new thread in this sub-forum to politely discuss your opinion.

FWIW, I'd not consider myself a master - more along the lines of a benevolent dictator, just like Linus considers himself with the Linux kernel. That doesn't mean I haven't run the site with openness, transparency and in the spirit of free software since day one. I think I have. I once again offer you to send me specific examples of how I or LQ have strayed, so I can improve...but either offline or in a dedicated thread, not here. Thanks.
LinuxQuestions.org is a website which is ruled by the Master, by the Master's rules and it's far away from the openness of any kind and true spirit of the free software.
Jeremy you are weak, your ego makes you weak, unrealistic.
If you ever overcome these barriers, I might come back here and show my respect for you, which you still have, but in a very small amount.
'jeremy' doesn't use a hard hand on this forum nor any other at LQ. Too bad others don't show the same respect.
Yes, there should be one person in control for a site as this but it seems to me that authority is delegated very well.
As for 'it's far away from the openness of any kind and true spirit of the free software', openness and free software has nothing to do with the way 'LQ' is governed.
We as members agree to abide by the 'LQ Rules'. You don't have to participate but you chose to abide by the rules which you seem not to abide. Personal attacks are not warranted but open intelligent debate in a polite manner is acceptable. We as a community participants here at 'LQ' sometimes have personal conflicts with other members. Sometimes it's due to personalities or just communication barriers that will inject misinterpretation that leads to conflict. Either way we all should temper ourselves so as to not offend. Sure, disagree, openly debate but in a polite, intellectual manner. I know since I've been spanked a few times by the 'mods'.
Hopefully you continue your participation here at LQ but if not then that too is your choice.
BTW, I'm not defending 'jeremy' as he can do that very well. But I do support his standards here at LQ.

I couldn't agree more. It's a community, composed of individuals. Disagreements are bound to happen. The fact that this is here after all the years and posts is proof positive that it is doing well, in spite of the few who are so incredibly antiestablishment that they can't even get along with a community of antiestablishmentarians.
The pity of it is that they are the ones who are losing by their ridiculous attitudes.
Thank you Jeremy, for putting this together.
Thank you mods, for keeping it running smoothly.
Thank you experienced contributors, for being willing to give to those of us who are still trying to learn.
Finally, thank you to those who ask the questions. Your willingness to admit to your lack of knowledge shows the rest of us that we are not alone in our ingorance, nor are we alone in our desire to overcome that ignorance.
Right! So let's keep posting off topic!! Makes total sense right... Mods I think it's time this one was closed, or at least turned sticky so everyone can see what a good example of what not to do is.

I'd prefer to keep the thread open so suggestions can still be made. That being said, this thread has gotten off topic far too much. Moving forward, please post in this thread only if it's on the original topic. As I've said, feel free to address any of the other issues either directly with me, or in a dedicated thread. No further warnings will be issues. Thanks.
