[Solved] Suggested clarification for "Forum etiquette-respect distros"
I bumped into this while reading one of the binned posts today, and took a second to parse it properly:
Maligning other GNU/Linux distributions, operating systems, or users thereof is prohibited.May I suggest a small edit for clarity:
Maligning other GNU/Linux distributions, other operating systems, or their users is prohibited.I have a wiki account, but I'm not about to edit this page without discussion given my quiet, low-key level of activity in the community.
Edit: Improved rewording implemented. n.b. title slightly modified to fit character limit.

That page is locked, so you wouldn't have been able to edit it anyway.
Thanks for the patch: applied.

Re: [Solved] Suggested clarification for "Forum etiquette-respect distros"
That was quick! Unfortunately, the word which most added the clarity (to me) was the "other" before "other operating systems", which you did not include. When I first read the original text, my brain didn't separate the GNU/Linux distros from the other operating systems; i.e., into Linux, BSD, Windows, MacOSX, etc. By including the word "other" before operating systems, it makes it clearer that we definitely mean more than just Linux and variants thereof. I know its getting nitpicky, but that's the essence of the clarification I was after. Thanks.
