I didn't have in mind any type of murder or long lasting damage of any soft.

When I said, to "Knock you off with a shovel in the face", I meant a
kind of "Wake up call". But now, as you say it, and as English is
somewhat my first language, even if it's more my second now, I do
remember as a kid / teenager that I would have interpreted that as "To
be turned off".

I was a somewhat literal translation from the french where you can say
"Le réveiller à coup de pelle dans la face" which mean to wake someone
up with a shovel in the face.

So take it as :
A kick in the ass.
A kick in the but.
A slap in the face.
A physical wake up call.
...
Something that will shake you enough that you get the time to think.
Something like...
Hope you understand before you end up 6 month on a hospital bed so you
can get your mind straight.

If it is, then be it.
Which would be somewhat hard to understand has you seem to accept mail
coming from any server and even user not on the mailing list.

Anyway, I kind of believe that this is the type of game played around here.
Sadly, about a month ago, after I asked a question and got a bunch of
stupid answer like :

1. If you are using Gnome then Gnome is your problem. (ha ha ha)
2. Your projects are redundant and useless so give the rack you rent for
Debian usage
3. And those similar stupidity like your good friend Greg said, that is,
we know what's good. Our way is the only way that's good.

A user suggested that I look over at Devuan, because as he said, there's
not much of those kind of foul play and crying game on Devuan.
I didn't went further because I was happy with the actuel SystemD.
But this reminded me all those fork that happens only because people get
stubborn with their idea and take computing for a hard science like
physics and mathematics, with those rigid rules. And that is not the
case... As a basic rule of computing is, if it work for you then it's good.

So as you are the almighty that now believe I shall be banned.
Wish you good luck.

I'll go back like all those ones who take and don't give.
And will surely abstain from sharing my opinions or helping others in
what I may have knowledge.
