I would like to publicly apologize for the aggressive and abusive remarks that I |
2 |
directed at Michał Górny, Rich Freeman, and others during my tenure as a Gentoo |
3 |
developer and Trustee. |

I've spent some time thinking about my involvement in libre software. I allowed |
6 |
my idealism to get the best of me, and trusted evidence presented to me by |
7 |
strangers that was situational and out of context, from conversations that I was |
8 |
not party to. I later learned that my involvement in said group was misguided, |
9 |
and I was used as a convenient tool for social disruption. It doesn't excuse my |
10 |
behavior, however, since it reflected poorly on Gentoo and its Foundation, and |
11 |
created unnecessary strife in a "workplace" of sorts that already has enough |
12 |
stressors. |

|
14 |
To clarify, I only write this much to explain the course of events succinctly, |
15 |
to claim that I was not coerced or legally compelled, and I have made no contact |
16 |
in my absence. (i.e. there's no hidden story) I'm just here to say, "Sorry for |
17 |
being an asshole." |

Sincerely, |
