I figured this is a wake up call from posting on SA.It's not like my posting on SA was a complete waste of time, some smart and interesting people post there. I don't know if it was worth for me dealing with thin-skinned retards, I lived in USSR with its media's political hangups, I participated in various boards/newsgroups flamewars since Fidonet, so my tolerance for both trolls and administrative assholes is pretty high. It taken a lot for Dr.Fred to even make me spell it out for him that what he demands is to prohibit a specific point of view that is in no way refuted or obsoleted within the context of discussion, and is merely something that he happens to oppose

I think you working at Apple to help make Leopard better would be the first step. The launch was better then Vista but there were a lot of problems etc.I have not seen Leopard yet -- I had a Leopard installation CD for weeks at work, where it was supposed to be used to upgrade my PPC Mac. I use that Mac to develop and test PPC code in a native environment, but it happened that I have spent those weeks building crosscompilers and working with them, and only needed x86 Linux for it. I hope, it launched better than Vista, taking into account what a short range of hardware it has to support, and how it's mostly incremental changes on well-established base technology

SH/SC is not GBS, where people discuss shitting pants and dating LARPers, it is a place where people actually managed to have intelligent discussion. It's a place where I was able to get a lot of good information and feedback about my ideas. Sure, it is moderated by idiots such as Dr.Fred and Sasquatch!, who would look retarded even if they posted in BYOB. However do you realize that the only thing that keeps them from permabanning everyone who makes them look stupid is understanding that it would make them look incompetent as both professionals and SA mods? And how they would be perceived as contributing to turning SH/SC forum to shit if they did it, unless they managed to mount a popular support for this

P.S. I also take offense at your post where you called me "passive aggressive" (yes, I have seen the rest of the thread, it came up in a Google search for "teapot permaban", I wanted to see if anyone gives a shit). "Passive aggressive" how it is used on SA, covers pretty much anything hostile almost up to the level of violence, that its target is trying to present as some kind of ineffective hostility. It replaced "rage against the machine" on the forums when ridiculousness of that expression sunk in.
As opposed to some people, I spend most of my time doing something useful that improves other people's lives, so I am sure, I can afford to dislike things.
