Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: can I make Libre default to save as .rtf

Hi :)
We have noticed your lack of tolerance and open hostility regarding the matter which you are unable 
to understand.  There is no need to be quite so hostile nor to flare up each time someone quietly 
asks for help.  

Please can you take your argument to the discussion group and/or steering/BoD group rather than 
continuing to bully and intimidate new users to this list.  

This list is meant to be open and welcoming to new users some of whom may be vulnerable and may 
come from cultures that do not appreciate the aggressive stance you usually take.  To be fair, my 
posts are often quite a lot too aggressive too.  

Please try to be a little more gentle to new people here that may not share your point-of-view.  
Regards from
Tom :)
