1 Ladies, please. Put the tampons back in and take a Midol.

5 GLEP55 has not effectively shown that there *is* a problem, otherwise we
6 wouldn't have had months of discussion on that topic. Nor has it shown
7 that its proposed solution *is* the best solution, otherwise we would
8 have adopted it months ago instead of dicking about on the mailing lists
9 with clever doublespeak dodging, like an e-penis jousting tournament.

11 There are serious issues related to the wording of the GLEP and its
12 proposed solution, as the majority of list replies have stated for the
13 last few months. Pretending they don't exist without listing each and
14 every single one (as I'm sure the proponents of the GLEP would like) is
15 just ostriching.

17 Telling someone "It's my way or nothing, because nothing else is valid
18 and nothing else will work and no one has a better idea than me" is
19 stonewalling, and it is entirely counterproductive. Perhaps that tactic
20 works in *some* pet distributions and package managers, but it does not
21 work for Gentoo.
