Oh hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
someone is running his campaign again like previous years [1]. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
First he attacked project members working for Sony [2], then he started |
| 6 |
to attack Patrick and now, the person who shared his idea that Gentoo |
| 7 |
should be ruled by a triumvirate [3] which he later declared as an |
| 8 |
'out-of-season' April fool after getting tremendous backlash is digging |
| 9 |
up old stuff about me in hope people have forgotten the details about. |

You are demanding that council members should participate in mailing |
| 19 |
list discussions in the past [1]. But when someone is doing that and |
| 20 |
don't agree with you, you are immediately attacking people (you were |
| 21 |
told more than once that it is very hard to discuss with you). And if |
| 22 |
they reply to that attack in *any* way you blame them for participating |
| 23 |
in flame wars. So how should that work? |

I am curious why you bring this up again given that it was resolved and |
| 35 |
parts of Proctor did their job. Anyway, like you know, I am not a native |
| 36 |
English speaker. It's also not a secret that my English is not good at |
| 37 |
all. Once I was made aware that someone misunderstood what I wrote I |
| 38 |
clarified my words. But I still stick to my statement (meaning) today. |
| 39 |
And unfortunately the last year has confirmed all of this: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
May I remind you that everyone in this project should basically share |
| 42 |
same goals and agreed on same code of conduct? Tell me, you as someone |
| 43 |
who is really good in technical writing and almost perfect compared to |
| 44 |
myself in using English language, why you have to use terms like |
| 45 |
"exhibit" [5] which Cambridge dictionary explains as |
| 46 |
|

What is Gentoo for you? I hope most Gentoo developers agree with me that |
| 50 |
words like that aren't appropriate to describe *anything* in Gentoo. |
| 51 |
Heck, why are you even creating *cases* against people sharing same |
| 52 |
goals and agreed on same code of conduct? Tell us why you are the |
| 53 |
reporter of most ComRel bugs in last 3 years and are even subject of |
| 54 |
most bugs filed by others. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Tell us why you are collecting stuff against other project members at |
| 57 |
all. This is crazy. We are on the same project. We should share same |
| 58 |
goals. We agreed on the same code of conduct. When you feel the need to |
| 59 |
do anything like that then anything else went already wrong. I mean |
| 60 |
*really* wrong. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Please tell us why you are attacking new Gentoo user posting to our |
| 63 |
public mailing list [6] for the first time? |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Sorry, I would really like to stand corrected. That I have to tell |
| 66 |
world, "He has changed" but I cannot. |

| 73 |
...said the one who has the longest track record of negative campaigning |
| 74 |
in Gentoo for how many years? Heck, why do have to do negative |
| 75 |
campaigning at all in a project like Gentoo? This is soooo wrong and |
| 76 |
makes me very sad to see. |

If you or anyone else don't like that I don't accept the behavior I |
| 84 |
listed above and that I won't keep my mouth shut whenever I am concerned |
| 85 |
how we as project interact with each other because I am somehow |
| 86 |
representing Gentoo, do NOT vote for me. |
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
The society itself is already brutalized. It is time to no longer |
| 89 |
tolerate such behavior. |
