It's gratuitous flaming when it's thrown out as a unjustified
explanation for anomalous problems.  Nobody has any legitimate reason
to believe that GNOME is responsible for Darren's directory ownership
problem; Rik's insinuation that GNOME is responsible for it is
therefore gratuitous flaming.  Unfortuately, this has, and apparently
continues to be, a problem in the "GNOME-KDE" wars, although in my
experience a lot more of it comes from KDE advocates than from GNOME
advocates.  In any case, I don't want to see it, here or anywhere
else.

(For the record, I use neither.)
