Nope, I never mentioned anything personal about you, in fact I can't |
| 10 |
remember mentioning your name at all. |

You choose to be in these flamewars. As I stated, if you really cared |
| 21 |
then at some time since your exclusion you would have worked on Gentoo |
| 22 |
and kept your nose clean, people would have had no choice but to accept |
| 23 |
you had noting but Gentoo's best interest at heart. |

You're not stupid, you knew exactly what would happen and you let all |
| 37 |
the flames come instead of being humble and suggesting that it wasn't |
| 38 |
the best idea. |

If you select a non-developer as a proxy then it degrades what it means |
