I'm not trolling. I'm asking questions and giving ideas on some things |
| 19 |
that could be done better and making personal observations to back up my |
| 20 |
thinking. If that is considered trolling then what is a |
| 21 |
developer/staff/etc called when he ignores suggestions or questions from |
| 22 |
others who care about Gentoo and would like to see it improve? From the |
| 23 |
Gentoo page: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
"What is trolling? You are deemed to be trolling if you make comments |
| 26 |
intended to provoke an angry response from others." |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I'm not trying to provoke a angry response. I'm trying to get answers, |
| 29 |
provide some suggestions and discuss problems. None of my posts fits |
| 30 |
into what you claim. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
See, this is part of the problem that has gone on for years. If anyone |
| 33 |
asks questions that can not be ignored, they get called names which is a |
| 34 |
personal insult. Again, from the Gentoo page: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
"Unacceptable behaviour" |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
"Being judgmental, mean-spirited or insulting." |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
To call me a troll when I am only trying to get answers and provide |
| 41 |
suggestions, that violates the code of conduct. The sad thing is, you |
| 42 |
did it with a .gentoo.org account which makes it a official email. So, |
| 43 |
now we have a official Gentoo person posting that a long term, LONG |
| 44 |
term, user is a troll when they don't fit Gentoo's own description of a |
| 45 |
troll. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Do you really want to stick with your comment? To be honest, you may |
| 48 |
want to think about what you just did. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I want to discuss problems, work for solutions and try to make Gentoo |
| 51 |
better. I'm not attacking, trolling or calling anyone else bad names or |
| 52 |
anything of the sort. |
