I got two things from his reply to me earlier. First, he talks about |
24 |
not offending someone then goes and does it anyway. Second, he is going |
25 |
to continue to do it even after people have asked him not to. I don't |
26 |
think I am the first person to bring up his language and/or attitude |
27 |
either. I think anyone that read his reply to me can see for themselves |
28 |
who and what he is and what he will do in the future on this list. Now |
29 |
they get to decide whether to do the same as I have done. For the first |
30 |
time in over eight years, I have blacklisted a person. That's not just |
31 |
a first for this list but for anyone, anywhere. |
32 |
|
33 |
I just hope this corrects itself before this turns Gentoo back several |
34 |
years to what was a really bad time for all of us. Disagreement is one |
35 |
thing but this is totally uncalled for. |
