Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can Libre Office be installed on an external drive. ?

Tempers are getting to high now.

We should not attack each other's views on Open Source or MS products.

We each have opinions that the other does not like.  We should not put 
people down because their opinion is not ours.

For me, I do not like mush of what MS is about.  They have some good 
free products out there.  Try I.C.E..  But that should not detract my 
views on MSO or LO.

Using the "M$ fanboy" should not be use as a negative.  Swearing should 
not be done.

Every community has their good and bad, whether you deal with people's 
views or software.  There is many things that are great about open 
source and its community.  But open source is not the only answer.  To 
some people it is not their answer.  We should not judge people because 
of their views.  We should not judge a community by an individual's 
views.  Die-heart MS users are just like die-heart FOSS people.  When 
you have no room for any other view, it tends not to be good to try to 
change their views.  It also is anti-productive to get into a battle of 
words with them.

So personally, I do not like MS anymore.  But they are putting out some 
interesting, free, stuff once and a while.  Also, I do not think open 
source is the only answer, just part of it.  My saying this does not 
make other opinions less than mine, or better.  It is just my opinion 
and I must accept that other people have other opinion.

So EVERYONE, please refrain from name calling and mud slinging.  This 
list is not the place for it.

Here we hope to offer help and sometimes opinions.  We are not the final 
word, since there is not such thing.  We offer information.  We should 
not put others down for their beliefs.  We should be better than that.  
We must be better than that on this public list.
