Troll: Go KDE!
by Steven Parkinson on Tuesday 13/Mar/2001, @22:02

I am a troll. You can jump to the next thread now.

I am really looking forward to KDE 2.2, having been an avid KDE fan since my boyfriend first showed me version 2.0 running on his laptop.

PS: Yes, I said 'boyfriend', and I am proud of my sexuality. Before making an immature, homophobic joke, you might want to consider that, in fact, more than half the KDE core developers are gay.

I just thought that more than half of the KDE core developers were European...oh...nevermind...

;-)

And as long as we're stereotyping, I'm just another uncouth, uncivilized american.

Instead of an immature joke, how about "we don't care" instead?

Most of the core developers listed on "People behind KDE" (http://www.kde.org/people/people.html) refer to "she" and "girlfriend" by the way.

Oh wait, you're another one of those trolls who moved from Slashdot. GayDE. Haha, very funny.

Uh... where did you get that statistic? Did you personally email each core developer and ask?

Erase this posting!

We will be implementing banishment soon. Our hand has been more or less forced on this issue as we've been under quite some attack from script kiddies. Seems the dot getting too popular for some people.

I'm proud of my sexuality too. So I decided to have the family over and demonstrate in the middle of dinner. Alas I was not fortunate enough to have been born of two gay parents. I'm pretty sure one of my three parents is an alien from another planet. Anyway there were no aliens there that night and all I seem to remember from my abduction is the alien anal probes with metal objects... so I had my brother in the mashed potatos with a hand full of kitchen utensils and everyone was screaming...

After I got out of jail I was going to try crossing an elephant, alligator and ostrich, you know, one of each sex, in the hopes of getting a sexy hairless green scaley alien looking thing... then I read from a credible source that over half of all core KDE developers are in fact aliens from other planets. Well that explains those amazing development cycles!

See you guys at CeBIT. I'll be the guy with the cuisinart in my pocket and the satellite dish on my head. Slip me a tentical and you can phone home.

[beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent trolls here]

Well, of course, more than half the kde core delopers are gay. Who wouldn't be happy to work on such a great project as KDE!! And with women.kde.org in place, their girlfriends and wifes are now gay too, since they can enjoy participating in one of the largest Open Source Projects!

The sick thing is that he probebly isn't a Troll. there are in my experience 2 distinkt categories of Gays.

One set just dose what they like with no nead to talk about it onless you ask a direct question.

The other set isn't so much interested in sex with likeminded people but rather the shocked reactions of those who disaprove. These are the ones who shout that they are "Gay and proud of it" or march in parades at Disney or apear on talkshows to discuss who they sleapt with.

To add some perspective. How many straight people tell you who they sleapt with if you don't ask? How many hesitate to tell you when you do?

Trolls -- watch out!
by Trollbuster on Thursday 15/Mar/2001, @23:24

This is clearly a troll.

Trolls are not tolerated here; very soon, the following code will be in place:

- ban on posting from anonymizer.com
- moderation
- stricter rules for anonymous posting
- per IP/cookie-based 'karma'
- banning users
- code to automatically contact ISPs to get accounts suspended; this will be done if goatsex links are posted, etc.
- flamebait ('KDE sux, GNOME is l33t') will also be harshly treated.

If you are a troll, watch out. This site is for productive discussion of KDE only.
