5 It adds. Because, while I don't know about you, I rely on Gentoo on my
6 job. And many others do, too.

8 And making Gentoo the laughing stock (_again_, I'd add) is something
9 that is detrimental to all of us there, as it makes it harder to let it
10 be seen for what it is (a very real, quit reliable distribution) rather
11 than a juvenile effort to be different from the rest.

13 How long did it take us to get rid of the "Gentoo is rice" fame? Do we
14 want to go back to that? _I_ don't think so.

16 So yes, the "social platforms" matter and are our problem. And it appals
17 me that a member of the council can't see that.
