Those of you who are long enough with Gentoo might remember the drama around |
| 21 |
forum members' political user avatars and other forum members taking offense |
| 22 |
at those and demanding their censorship, which (iirc) ultimately lead to |
| 23 |
retirement of one or more Gentoo developers. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I suggest keeping this in mind before restarting the discussion of what is |
| 26 |
allowed on the forums and what not. |
| 27 |

On the topic of "reflects on Gentoo as a whole", is there actual evidence of |
| 29 |
someone making negative remarks about Gentoo as a whole, pointing to an OTW |
| 30 |
threat for the argument? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
A compromise / an alternative to removing OTW (if deemed a bad thing) would |
| 33 |
be to limit its public reach by allowing only registered forum users to |
| 34 |
access it. |
