Volker is one of our most colourful characters here. I'm a close second. |

Both of are are well known for keeping flame throwers primed and at the |

In an ecosystem like Gentoo, this is always going to be the case; the |
| 16 |
average Gentoo user is virtually by definition a more competent |
| 17 |
assembler of software components than users of any other distro. With |
| 18 |
that comes hotheads, strong opinions and the expectation that the user |
| 19 |
can probably help himself through most problems that arise. |

Most Gentoo devs like to think the users are perfectly capable of |
| 22 |
finding, patching and reporting bugs, with solutions - it's a mutual |
| 23 |
respect thing and you can see it play out on the -dev list. |

So don't overthink what happens around here. The reality is more like this: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
user1: I think I made a mistake |
| 28 |
user2: Yes you did. It was a colossal dumbass mistake and you acted like |
| 29 |
an idiot |
| 30 |
user1: hmmmm, yeah. Well I guess I asked for that. |
| 31 |
user2: yes you did :-) Wanna go grab a beer? |
