seeing that things are getting out of hand again, let me reply as a member of the userrel team.

You and everyone else is entitled to an opinion and Gentoo has showed time and again to be a very open community allowing people to participate in discussions. However, as Denis was pointing out, no amount of contribution entitles anyone (developer or not) to abuse our communication mediums and act inappropriately. > So say someone were to say "My aim is to make every project you're > associated with fail, and to disrupt everything you do in any way I > can", and then repeatedly pop up and start posting nonsense.

As Denis has already stated we're not interested in the disputes between you, paludis, exherbo and some other users or projects (funtoo?). This ml is about Gentoo not about your (ciaranm, igli, trelane, etc) pet projects. >>> repeated pot-shots from the peanut gallery. >> Thanks for the good example.

So this is one of those cases that you should start by looking at the mirror. <snip> We all have plenty examples of your bad behaviour, so let's not go down that route. >>> Steve pops up every now and again and tries to disrupt things. >> You do the exact same in you own way.

Some people seem to think that the best way for Gentoo to progress as they would like, they need to ensure that you don't get to influence Gentoo as they consider your proposals compromise Gentoo's future. But again, we (Gentoo developers and community) are getting tired of all the "bile" flying around. Please stop with that. - -- Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / Devrel / SPARC / KDE -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpT0VkACgkQcAWygvVEyAJO2gCfYiZRdsFbbZs0ejTlTd9qix6s IpUAn2Fsx30PCF2qEIJMOvpW7O2D7GQI =2RHR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
