You know what pisses me of is the way you treat people with constructive |
| 16 |
contributions. In your reply to Locke for example you make him for a complete |
| 17 |
idiot, and you seem to have such a reaction ready for everyone. I like to |
| 18 |
look at Gentoo as a friendly community where no-one has to be afraid to have |
| 19 |
a different opinion, not even you. That does however include that arguments |
| 20 |
stay in a professional way and don't get personal. If you do get personal, it |
| 21 |
is you who's making a fool out of himself, not the person who wants to |
| 22 |
contribute constructively, but made an honest mistake. |

ps. Let me add once again, there is absolutely no shame in making mistakes, as |
| 27 |
long as one accepts that one can be wrong, and learns from them. |
