No that is fact, given how people keep discussing and focusing on punishment. |
| 12 |
It clearly shows a mindset and the atmosphere. Not a friendly one! |

You do not know me, and you are reading things I did not write. Worrying about |
| 24 |
things I am not even discussing. None of that comes from me.... |

I see allot of people talking who became developers years after I was one. I |
| 33 |
do not see any respect for those that came before. No respect for wisdom |
| 34 |
gained over a decade, etc. |
| 35 |
|

I routinely will google Gentoo New Developer, with a persons name. Rarely am I |
| 37 |
talking to anyone from say before 2010. Most have become developers since and |
| 38 |
have a very different perspective. |
