Petteri was proposing an idea. He is being creative and is trying to |
4 |
help. The only way of knowing if his idea is good is to discuss it and |
5 |
later try it if people are interested. |

You, on the other hand, have lately been increasingly critical (which |
8 |
is good) but not constructively. You obviously have a lot of energy |
9 |
but at no point have you offered your contribution. You haven't |
10 |
offered to help the teams you've been criticizing and you haven't |
11 |
proposed any real idea (website redesign, recruiters). Also you're |
12 |
criticizing without knowing what is happening when the information is |
13 |
publicly available (you're asking for a discussion on the metadata |
14 |
idea and it was a topic last month, the devrel issue is being tackled |
15 |
and it started before your rant). |

Willing to follow? Wow, that's ballsy. Now I understand why you needed |
21 |
to tell the world about it. |

There are lots of good role models to follow in Gentoo. All those who |
26 |
work their ass off trying to make this distribution better, and use |
27 |
the mailing lists as a tool to share ideas but not for immature |
28 |
political rantings. |

And you've shown a striking lack of respect for somebody who's been so |
35 |
dedicated to Gentoo for more time than you've been a developer, and |
36 |
without whom you wouldn't even be a developer as he was your |
37 |
recruiter. This is so wrong. |

Credibility is among these things which take a long and hard work to |
40 |
build up and can completely blow up at any time. Don't waste yours. |
