39 Maybe you should take your own?? Since you ignore most of my posts, no
40 wonder you don't see the information I'm providing. You have to read
41 them to see it. If you don't want to read them, why are you commenting
42 on them? If I'm not going to bother to read your posts, I'm not going
43 to comment on it either. I read yours. Try reading mine or not
44 commenting thinking you know what is in it when you don't. So far,
45 your posts bring 100% nothing to the table. Your post is a 100% waste
46 of time. Maybe you need to work on that and actually discuss the topic
47 instead?

66 Just so you know, since you admit you don't read most of my posts, I am
67 talking about Gentoo in each and every post. Maybe you should try
68 reading them before talking about what they are about since you have no
69 clue.
70
71 My posts do not meet the definition of trolling. Yours on the other
72 hand, just might. You seem to be trying to get a response from me but
73 you will be sadly disappointed. You won't get me to post something that
74 breaks the rules. You can push it if you want but it won't get you
75 anywhere. It might get attention that you would rather avoid tho.
76 Others may tolerate it but this one might not.
77
78 Since you mention spam. Your post brings absolutely nothing to the
79 topic. All it does is try to shut down meaningful discussion between
80 myself and a couple others even if you don't like the topic. I might
81 add, a ex-dev is not the only topic. If you would bother to read first,
82 you would know that. This is also about a person who put months of
83 effort into java only to be ignored and that work not accomplishing
84 anything for that person. It also left a bad impression on that person
85 given the way it was mishandled. That has nothing to do with a ex-dev.
86
87 When you are ready to read my posts and have a reasonable discussion,
88 post and let me know. In the meantime, I don't need nor care to hear
89 your attitude. If you don't want to read my posts or have a meaningful
90 exchange, ignore my posts in the future.
