Titolo: Other people's ethics and tastes

In the last years I noticed a growing trend of people pushing for "new"
rules about what is appropriate or not for single developers or for the
project as a whole. In too many cases even just considering these ideas
to be an obvious fact... I prefer to not give specific examples because
these would divert the attention from the main topic and would be
affected by my own biases.
At this point I believe it is useful to remember that all ethical
issues which are not explicitly covered by the Social Contract are just
the developers' own opinions. It may even be a good idea, but other
developers are not and should not be compelled to agree with it no
matter how good or important you believe it is.
You are entitled to having your own ethics and even ranting about it on
Planet Debian, but I am entitled to not caring at all without this
making me a worse Debian Developer. Let's try to be grown ups and not
be excessively annoyed by other people's choices.
This is why I want to convey this simple message to the people who keep
preaching about what is proper for me or for Debian: please fuck you.
If I want to receive lectures about what is right or wrong then I
surely know where I can find a priest.
For some reason, now I see fit to mention that I have an Amazon
wishlist[0]...

Two DDs, one can use vim and other emacs, but both need to use the
same conventions.
From my view point, talking about developer/project guidelines or
conveniences, may feet in the following sentence of the Debian Social
Contract: "We will make the best system we can, so... ".
Of course, I prefer rants when they come with a nice solution :)

Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman is really good. So is What do _you_ care, 
what other people think, Perfectly reasonable deviations from the beaten 
track and all the others.
Kind regards,

Pretty much clear <g> and for sure not a new issue; there're
a lot of folks around pretending to "know it better than you" or
barfing about whatever choice you make ... but, by the way
w/o actively collaborating/helping to make choices; what does
really surpise me is the fact that you discovered the above just
now; such folks have been around for quite a while :P
As for your answer... I agree with the contents, not so much with
the form <g> while I understand why you formulated it that way,
I think that a "lighter" approach (yet a *pragmatic* one ;-D) may
have been more appropriate; all in all, if someone doesn't like
what you do, (s)he may just step up and do his/her best :D

 be excessively annoyed by other people's choices.
...qualche anima buona e' in grado di spiegare ad uno che non segue Linucs 
come una Sacra Religione... che cosa ha a che fare una scelta "etica" con 
un sistema operativo?
Fino ad ora mi pareva che l'unica scelta "etica" fosse di includere nella 
distro pacchetti piu' o meno "completamente liberi", che gia' mi sembrava 
una questione di lana caprina.
E scusatemi se mi sembra una cosa tanto strana.

si discuteva se era legito dpkgizzare masturbandosi. Da qui il problema 
etico. Chi dice che nel contratto sociale è vietato, chi dice solo con 
la destra, e qualcuno poi si lamenta perchè mancino.
Noi dell'iguana preferiamo notoriamente i pompini: ciò e pacifico e 
vale per tutti.

 Contract: "We will make the best system we can, so... ".
ROTFL ! ops sorry. Only a ssl burp.

 surely know where I can find a priest.
LOL.

 Noi dell'iguana 
Chi?
Ah, quelli in via di estinzione?
Una prece.;)

I don't understand why that bug comes into discussion about if a DD
should talk about ethics or not. Or about if DDs should talk of ethics
of the project between them or with a priest.
Bugs happens, has ubuntu storing the installation password in plain
text in the installer log, and as in any software/project. I don't see
how it's related to the cite.
Have a nice day.

 I don't understand why that bug comes into discussion about
Nevermind: he's just a SuSe evangelist that had some problem in using Debian
and, since then, trolls around. *grin*

 Nevermind: he's just a SuSe evangelist that had some problem in using 
"nun impòrt"
tutta la tua frase parsata qui e debitamente tradotta :-P :

 how it's related to the cite.
It's related: you and priests are disputing about sex's angels. But 
truth is that: "No fucking, no importance about sex".

 But truth is that: "No fucking, no importance about sex".
Always can masturbate, but your post was more like "You've opinion?
fuck you".
Have a nice night

 your project with unhelpful attitude.
You assume there actually is a point...
He's usually referred to as "The Mighty Troll" (or something like) on IT
usenet hierarchy.
Ask why...;-)

Paranoia is a disease unto itself. And may I add: the person standing
next to you may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution.
