@Vencorr - Nicholas, I don't believe you
need to apologise. My 2nd psychiatrist, whom I adored, and trusted with my care for 14 years (cheeky bugger retired on my 60th birthday, last September) used to say to me words to the effect of "Chris, you don't need to apologise. Being the way you are is a part of what makes you unique".
Not apologising, however, did not always sit well with me, so often I would say eg "I regret that you have taken offence, where I intended none", and try to take note of where I might have committed a gaffe and try not to repeat it.
This section of the site, "General Linux", has a broad scope. Many Members may hold dual or more Memberships at other sites. So the OP, mrcrossroads, and other participants are to be applauded for wanting to bring a likely security breach to the attention of Members so that they can be informed and make a rational, considered judgement of any action (or not) to be taken from their end.
You, Nicholas, and Brian (
@Condobloke ) if I am not mistaken, are/were Members of the affected site. So you are in a good position to pass comment.
BUT (there's always a but with the Wiz ... I could go somewhere with Wizard's butt but I won't
) - where Brian and I came from before encountering this wonderful place (I was exiled, lol), they had been going through a long, drawn-out lawsuit. A senior Member of Staff had posted a Review of a software product, anti-malware, that was less than favourable, and the firm sued, and our place launched a counter suit ... blah blah.
Hence my concerns that we "keep our heads". I want this site to "live long and prosper"
More power to all of you, I'm off to work on Brian's moving project at the same time redeeming space on this Satellite to put on another 10 - 20 Linux.
And regrets
@mrcrossroads for consuming an inordinate amount of space in your thread expounding on Wizard's POV (point of view) - I will try not to make a habit of it
