Not the events in 2015. |

I have, Comrel brought up the past from 2008 as initial reason to prevent my |
| 15 |
return in 2015. |

Thank you for the insults! |

New people or not, old problems still remain, and things that were not done in |
| 28 |
the past still have not been done. So what are these new people doing? |

Where is my respect for my contributions to the foundation? It was never given |
| 36 |
any respect for my work in 2008 nor now. Though when I speak with others who |
| 37 |
know what I did, the situation tends to be different. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
To get respect you must show respect. Others do not show me respect, and |
| 40 |
wonder why I do not in return? |

Given many have less commits, and did less in the past than I did, much less |
| 47 |
the present or future. That is a futile argument. |

Who is working with the IRS? Why is that not in line since 2008 or ever? |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Who is working on Gentoo Java? Or other things not maintained in tree since |
| 52 |
2008? |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
The reason for preventing both? Who am I putting off from working with the |
| 55 |
IRS? Why did no one show since 2008. That cannot be because of me, I was not |
| 56 |
around. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Why is there no one doing Java stuff on Gentoo? Who am I putting off from |
| 59 |
doing that work? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Stupid arguments that contradict facts... |
