I hope you guys realize that the "cute and teh funnies" has all been lost by now. This is starting to look really ridiculous and not becomming of IT professionals that I hope we all are here.

Yea, party breaker, "téh serious business" and all, blah blah blah...

Still, kudos to vonskippy, those fishes win. :mrgreen:

Wow... I can honestly say I've never seen first-hand a forum thread devolve into something like this. I've heard about such things, but never seen it while it happened...

devolve
…
verb (used without object)
…
4. Archaic. to roll or flow downward


Seems appropriate, if a little old fashioned.

No, I really meant devolve...

devolve (third-person singular simple present devolves, present participle devolving, simple past and past participle devolved)
...
3. (intransitive) to slowly degrade
-- A discussion about politics may devolve into a shouting match.

(emphasis mine)

That only counts if it didn't start out as a shouting match. :P

I don't know about you folks, but I prefer stupid memes to a stupid fight.

Being an IT Professional does not mean being a tie wearing type with no sense of humor. This isn't a job interview, it's a forum related to an internet service that some of us feel has let us down. Linode didn't answer our questions so we resorted to humor because it's less frustrating than sending angry support tickets.

'Woman holding fish' wasn't even relevant to the conversation.

Everything vonskippy has posted to this thread has been nothing more than an attempt to derail any justified criticism of Linode. If you read back you will notice it was vonskippy who tried to turn this into another IPv6 flame war. If Linode had a kitten murdering policy he would be telling everyone it's a good thing.
