Regardless of the points being made or their validity, this is the
long-standing problem with Gentoo: excessive pride and ego and too
little inability to cooperate internally, much less externally.  Too
many people are treating every discussion (turned argument) as
life-or-death and are unwilling to concede anything.  Sometimes you
have to say, "I disagree, but not enough to make waves about it."

This is why we've been bleeding old-guard developers (the quiet ones
that got stuff done and didn't flame) for months and not gaining the
people that carefully examine an environment before they commit.  Some
people just want to quietly go about their business and Do Things
Right, not trudge through hundred-fatwa threads detailing the latest
technical-turned-personal 'discussion'.  For those of you doing the
dev thing for CV points: which will your future employer appreciate
more, fifty pseudo-technical flames or a few highly-informative
documentation posts?  A dozen new packages or a 20MB IRC log detailing
what you hate about infra member $foo?


Get over yourselves.  Please.
