You are misconstruing the motives behind my actions. Since you're not |
30 |
a mind reader you don't have the benefit of seeing what I'm thinking |
31 |
first hand, but allow me to explain. |
32 |
|
33 |
When I said "unsolicited", I meant it. I was not expecting people to |
34 |
approach me and explain to me that I was not the only one who was |
35 |
apparently victimized by toxic behavior from you. |
36 |
|
37 |
My resignation was not intended to gain compassion. I welcome it, but |
38 |
it was unsolicited. To be blunt, I was surprised. |
39 |
|
40 |
The "excuses" you speak of are completely valid, but they were seen by |
41 |
me because of the encouragement I got, and they have nothing to do |
42 |
with me not getting support in an attack on you. |

I probably could use some education in how to actually be |
49 |
professional. I suffer from autism and social skills often elude me. |
50 |
|
51 |
I would however dispute that you have been professional towards me. |
52 |
|
53 |
Your legal threat (which btw I've gotten evidence is unfounded) as |
54 |
documented on bug 620010. |
55 |
|
56 |
Comments 8 and 9 of bug 620010 made by you, and I quote, "His |
57 |
Foundation membership is a sad joke against the hard-working Gentoo |
58 |
community." and "Thank you for your professional consideration. |
59 |
However, I should like to point out that the request for audit has |
60 |
been based not on whether he is a developer (which is a obvious point) |
61 |
but regarding his 'contributions'. P" both come off as pejorative and |
62 |
insulting, for example the likely sarcasm quotes around |
63 |
"contributions". Calling my membership a sad joke was, in my opinion, |
64 |
completely out of line especially given that I have provided evidence |
65 |
in that bug of my contributions (which to be fair were mostly outside |
66 |
of direct commits to the portage tree). There's also the fact that |
67 |
the bug in question directly concerned me and you neglected to add me |
68 |
to the CC list. My opinion is that I should have found out about it |
69 |
before I noticed it come up in a trustee meeting. |
70 |
|
71 |
Even if the commentary was not public at the time it was still made in |
72 |
front of others. |
73 |
|
74 |
Furthermore, the reason you cited on the bugzilla regarding my removal |
75 |
from pmaint cited inactivity, however, your commentary on IRC in gpm |
76 |
"[22:56:39] <mgorny> Spyro: because having you around is much more |
77 |
effort to everyone than benefit" contradicts that. Apart from the |
78 |
apparent hostility on your part, I also find the contradiction |
79 |
suggestive of dishonesty on your part on bugzilla. |
80 |
|
81 |
For the above reasons I very much disagree that you have been nothing |
82 |
but professional towards me. |
83 |
|
84 |
To your credit, I do think you're a strong contributor on a technical |
85 |
front, but your actions give me the impression that your attitude and |
86 |
how you treat people is detrimental to gentoo. No less than 3 others |
87 |
have concurred with this opinion. |
