It's a question of perception. Some users might come to feel that the |

Gentoo developers are not interested in their input, unlike the |

Gentoo's singling itself itself out as less receptive to its users |
| 32 |
simply because some its developers are too Trumpian to resist arguing |
| 33 |
with people who criticize their work or Gentoo. |
