Uh, wow. I stopped reading this thread about a dozen posts ago before |
| 21 |
stumbling on this, and it looks like this thread has only gone |
| 22 |
downhill. |

Some friendly advice for all: |
| 25 |
1. If you see something designed in a way that doesn't seem right, it |
| 26 |
isn't wise to initially conclude that the designers are idiots. |
| 27 |
2. Approaching the designers and suggesting to them that they don't |
| 28 |
know what they're doing will have fairly predictable results. |
| 29 |
3. If you see somebody ignoring #1-2, don't feed the troll. Either |
| 30 |
answer the question, ignore the post, or just politely point out that |
| 31 |
the original post wasn't made in a helpful manner. |
| 32 |
4. We're not in middle school any longer. If anybody here does |
| 33 |
happen to be in middle school, the fact that you figured out how to |
| 34 |
subscribe to a mailing list puts you in the 99th percentile already, |
| 35 |
so try for the 99.9th percentile by acting like an adult anyway and |
| 36 |
the world might one day belong to you. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
This list exists so that those who use Gentoo can interact, ask |
| 39 |
questions, and ideally get answers. Stuff like this just makes people |
| 40 |
not want to read the list, and that tends to disproportionately |
| 41 |
include those who are actually able to offer the most help. Most devs |
| 42 |
do not read -user, and stuff like this doesn't help with that. If we |
| 43 |
want to lower the barrier to contribution, part of that is going to |
| 44 |
involve making contribution more constructive. |
