It’s actually not a personal issue for me as with mailing list mode and the respective tools my email client gives me (ignore thread, ignore author etc.) I have plenty of ways to not see what I perceive as noise.
However I am concerned about:
- the overall post quality in the forum sinking even lower than it already is
- these threads spreading lots of paranoia and ignorance that may both spread and attract more of the same kind
- all of the above distracting from what Qubes OS and this forum are supposed to be about
I also start thinking it was a grave mistake to host the forum at the same domain as the project. The fact that the URL reads forum.qubes-os.org gives the whole thing an official kind of look and as such encourages the casual observer to draw conclusions from the forum content onto the project.
Or maybe I am just wrong.
