Poor Jory. Respect isn't something that is owed to you; its something |
| 10 |
that is shared between two or more people. Looking down on people and |
| 11 |
being territorial (especially with something you don't actually own) |
| 12 |
doesn't help. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I can't help but laugh at the idea that a dev on an F/OSS project would |
| 15 |
get mad because somebody wanted to *improve* the code. If you can't take |
| 16 |
the heat, don't join a F/OSS project... |

Wow, now its *his* vpopmail ebuild. And here I thought everything was |
| 22 |
copyrighted to the Gentoo Foundation. |

Sadly, this sort of childish behavior isn't isolated to this particular |
| 28 |
dev. Its the equivalent of Cartman (Southpark) saying "screw you guys, |
| 29 |
I'm going home". And it makes the speaker look just as mature. |

Most of the Gentoo devs I've dealt with are very talented and very |
| 39 |
likable people. They volunteer in a very professional manner and |
| 40 |
understand that with their developer status comes a few responsibilities |
| 41 |
(common curtesy being one of them). |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
But there does seem to be a vocal minority of asshats who like to carve |
| 44 |
out their little fiefdoms and 'fend off invaders' at all costs. :( |

Hopefully, you'll stick around and help out again in the future. |
