I am replying here at no particular point in the thread because its |
21 |
hard to find the right spot to interject. |
22 |
|
23 |
I am a lurker on this list, I joined it a few years ago because I was |
24 |
interested in the development process for gentoo, and because I like to |
25 |
early adopt and be aware of impending changes. |
26 |
|
27 |
I am a long time user of gentoo, a strong gentoo advocate, almost to |
28 |
the point of zealotry. I have introduced many people to gentoo, and |
29 |
have given talks to my local LUG, run gentoo installfests and |
30 |
contributed to the -users list, the forums and the bugzilla. |
31 |
|
32 |
However the behaviour displayed in this list, and in particular this |
33 |
thread are downright embarassing. I used to be proud of being a gentoo |
34 |
user and following a group of dedicated and clever developers. Now I |
35 |
just want to find a quick and easy way to get rid of it. You have had |
36 |
your antics displayed to the world via a thrashing on slashdot, and |
37 |
most of you thoroughly deserve the public outing. |
38 |
|
39 |
Its time you people had a good look at yourselves. Start behaving like |
40 |
adults, not children fighting over the toys in the sandpit. You make it |
41 |
hard to promote gentoo when you are arguing over the wording of people |
42 |
announcing a new project. |
