Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: question about the best version of libreoffice - MY God is better!

Hi, to all who had been participating, for some time now, in this
nonsensical religious comments. When I accepted to receive e-mails from
this user group, I thought that it could be useful whilst using Libre
Office. I never expected to become involved in religious arguments, or
being forced to read any religious preaching. In most forums everybody is
compelled to keep postings within the subject for which they were set up,
and anybody that strays from that is usually removed. Since this forum has
lost its direction (with the approval of some member that confuse tolerance
with the lack of respect for other people), it's time for me to leave.
Since this e-mail does not have the usual "unsubscribe" link, I will put it
into the "junk mail" section, where it belongs.
Have a nice day.
