Complaining TWICE worked. The problem I complained about shouldn't |
| 2 |
have happened in the first place; someonex fixed something that wasn't |
| 3 |
broken and made it broken. |

Your response is absolutely typical of my problem with the gentoo dev |
| 6 |
community. You misstate a complaint, overreact to it, and apparently |
| 7 |
feel pretty smug about your accomplishment. No one will admit to the |
| 8 |
two screwups (first breaking a working ebuild, second incorrectly |
| 9 |
closing a bug on it). Instead you lash out at those who point out |
| 10 |
problems. |

Yes, I had the wrong program when I compalined about the color |
| 13 |
problem. But the gentoo community response then as now was to lash |
| 14 |
out, scream and shout, not to actually investigate. And when I |
| 15 |
finally left the thread alone, you geniuses were still ranting about |
| 16 |
it three days later when I next checked. |

You folks may think you have a cool system, and it is in some ways and |
| 19 |
could be in many others. But I know many people who tried gentoo and |
| 20 |
bailed precisely because of the shoot the messenger mentality so |
| 21 |
pervasive here; the self-selected sample you see is meaningless. |
| 22 |

Go ahead, have another three days' fun. Maybe I'll spark some more |
| 24 |
tinders in a month or two. I wouldn't want to deprive you of your |
| 25 |
fun. |
