Alec I am not blaming you for all of Gentoo's issues, nor is any one
person responsible. What I do fault you for is the situation involving
me since 2008. Which at many times you could clear the air telling your
side which you admitted then only on -core. You let things spiral, and
you started it all. Thanks, but I would appreciate an apology. It was
wrong and has had cascading effects for over a decade now. Hardly your
intentions then or now.

You made a mistake, and eagerly went to DevRel reporting me. Which
started a ball rolling no one could stop. That simple admission can
change the tide some. If anything will clear up the misconception that
I was kicked when I left. Less than a week or so after stepping down as
a trustee.

Requested retirement out of protest or disgust is not the same as
being kicked.

Anytime an elected Trustee doing good work steps down mid term. Others
should wonder why. If they leave entirely after. Someone did something
to drive them away. Its simple logic. Much less show others respect
which I was never. Which continues to this day. People will disrespect
me before showing respect. Others take it to an extreme, and its all
tolerated because its me, wltr the drama troll destroying Gentoo who
won't go away. Despite the fact I did for years....
