I did, I was not trying to go into further discussion keeping it short. |

That does not make sense to me. If anything I see the opposite. People |
| 24 |
going around on power trips. Afraid of losing any of their "powers". |
| 25 |
Resistant to any change that may change their "power". Other times flat |
| 26 |
out abuse of power. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I do not agree on people feeling they lack the power. I haven't seen |
| 29 |
that. Nor would I agree people do not have the power to do something. |
| 30 |
In fact people with the power ensure only their way is the way things |
| 31 |
are done. They have the power so they resist any change. I see lots of |
| 32 |
power trips in Gentoo. No central power. |

I see things completely differently. Rather than continue on. I said |
| 35 |
what I did to end the convo rather than carry one. Since you assumed I |
| 36 |
did not read, here is the reply I hoped to avoid. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I hoped to leave it as I have a different perspective. Which you can |
| 39 |
see more of now. |

Sadly a vocal minority surely does. If most get past others perception |
| 45 |
of me, insults, and all around the way I am seen. Then most would |
| 46 |
realize what ever they think about me, is horribly incorrect. I am very |
| 47 |
different than I may seem. Almost no one around here knows me. There |
| 48 |
are a few who have met me. Most have moved on, but some are still |
| 49 |
around. For that reason I never assume to know anything about another. |
| 50 |
While people assume all sorts of stuff about me. Not to mention |
| 51 |
different cultures, etc. |
