For what it's worth, I agree with Michał that your presence on the |
| 16 |
mailing list can be overwhelming (with overly long emails) to other |
| 17 |
list participants, while you often stray off-topic or pivot a thread |
| 18 |
towards some issue or history that you care about. |

As you may remember, I wrote the following when you initially appeared |

on the Gentoo: |

In my mind, your behavior on the mailing lists since then has |

confirmed my initial suspicion. |

On the other hand, Michał is a productive and technically competent |
| 32 |
core Gentoo contributor, even though I've asked him privately in the |
| 33 |
past to try and let fewer of his frustrations leak onto the mailing |
| 34 |
list and IRC. |
