6 I am not creating problems. I am pointing them out, in the hopes that
7 people will work to find solutions to them. Where I have a solution, I
8 also provide that.

13 So you're saying that Gentoo should move to a closed development model
14 where problems are buried rather than discussed in public?

22 The difference between you and me is that you were wrong. You were
23 trying to recruit a developer who didn't use Gentoo, who knew
24 practically nothing about Gentoo, who deliberately failed the quiz and
25 who worked on one of your pet entirely non-Gentoo projects. Any lessons
26 you've learned from that only apply to other people who do equally
27 insane things.
