The difference between the two is that the former causes 'every non-dev |
| 53 |
is moderated, I guess that's fair' and the latter causes 'how dare you |
| 54 |
restrict my freedom of speech, you bastards, I'm the most important |

Gentoo developer since Daniel Robbins, you silly lives mean nothing |
| 56 |
compared to me, you wouldn't have been born if it was not for me...!' |
