For the record the only reason I stand in opposition to William is his |
2 |
deliberate and flagrant trespass on a mailing list whose administration had |
3 |
revoked his posting privileges. The points he raised, however ill mannered |
4 |
a way he chose to do so, are in my humble opinion quite valid and I've also |
5 |
heard similiar rumors from other sources. I don't think William's points |
6 |
should be swept under the rug as it were just because he chose a very |
7 |
anti-social method of making them. |
8 |
|
9 |
I humbly ask that any points william (or anyone else for that matter) makes |
10 |
regarding process or procedure, social or technical or otherwise, be |
11 |
evaluated in an objective manner with an eye towards the long term health |
12 |
of Gentoo as both a foundation and as a distribution our userbase depends |
13 |
on. |

As with the message by Daniel Campbell following the one I am currently |
16 |
quoting, I too have made observations and I also plan to take similiar |
17 |
diligence when I exercise my new voting privileges as a recent addition to |
18 |
the foundation when the trustee elections come around. |

We're geeks working on a linux distro, let's act like it. |
