"Off-Topic" and "How Do I Linux" tags
There, I renamed it to How Do I...
so that it is less inflammatory.
Sorry to push buttons, the tags don't personally offend me, I just wanted to give my feedback that some alternate wording could be used to make it a bit more open and friendly (IMHO).
The forums have generally been very cordial and helpful, and I appreciate it immensely. I just want to make sure newcomers feel the same way and that the wording we present reflects that.
tomocafe people really have to earn the Over-Dramatic and Fake News tags, and they do. The abrupt NO is jarring on first take, but absolutely necessary to quell speculations, hopes, and the "I demand this unstable package because I used to have it at XXXOperatingSystem" crowd.
Have I ever been offended or intimidated by the classification system here?
No.
By the same token, I've always tried to stay on the right side of it, so maybe that is a yes? Who knows.
