14 That is possibly the most pathetic, misjudged and harmful (to Gentoo)
15 post I have ever read. You should be ashamed.

17 Just because developers develop because they want to doesn't mean they
18 dont want to be part of a community, if that wasn't the case then none
19 of the current developers would have originally been part of the

22 Gentoo is becoming a joke, how many more developers have to leave? How
23 many more harmful articles will it take? Users have left in droves and
24 you seem to be becoming more and more insular the worse it gets.
