We will see if this post goes through. I was just re-banned on |
| 14 |
gentoo-project: https://bugs.gentoo.org/653338 . This appears retaliatory. |

Matt, I think you are perfectly capable of moderating a low-volume mailing |
| 17 |
list. |

ComRel makes things worse. They don't participate in or moderate the |
| 20 |
conversation. They are like a modern mailing-list gestapo -- when called, |
| 21 |
they swoop in, attack the "reported on" party, and threaten to ban them. |
| 22 |
Also, it is wholly inappropriate to have ComRel banning me while I try to |
| 23 |
point out issues with ComRel. This is fascism, where they are just using |
| 24 |
their 'policing' capability, which is supposed to bring civility, to go |
| 25 |
after those who oppose them. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Furthermore, their meddling in Foundation matters is illegal. They have no |
| 28 |
authority to "moderate" me on Gentoo Foundation infrastructure. Under New |
| 29 |
Mexico Statute 53-8-98, it is an unauthorized assumption of corporate |
| 30 |
power. "All persons who assume to act as a corporation without authority so |
| 31 |
to do shall be jointly and severally liable for all debts and liabilities |
| 32 |
incurred or arising as a result thereof." They have no authority. They are |
| 33 |
meddling in areas where they have absolutely no scope. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The Foundation absolutely requires the ability to communicate with its |
| 36 |
members without interference by ComRel and rogue developers. Right now, |
| 37 |
ComRel is attempting to disrupt this ability. |
| 38 |
|

Rich, you actually seem like a nice person but I tend to have a strong |
| 40 |
negative reaction to nearly everything you post due to its tangential |
| 41 |
nature and the fact that you seem to make even the most basic things |
| 42 |
incredibly complex. *The Foundation is capable of moderating a mailing |
| 43 |
list*!!! And ComRel has no authority here. |
