9 Your not aware of me? Most can see there is a clear bias, not to
10 mention double standard. I think most can tell I am not liked. Thus I
11 am routinely sought out. Likely worse if I was a developer again and
12 more could be done to punish....

14 I seriously doubt anyone thinks any Gentoo Developer actually likes me.

23 That is a widely know fact. If people inside Gentoo think otherwise.
24 They may need to take a look outside the bubble. A simple Google search
25 would show facts otherwise.

30 That statement applies to much of Comrel and SEVERAL Gentoo
31 developers... They are seriously in the wrong on so many levels. They
32 are causing these problems. Not outsiders....
