Ciaranm's original e-mail mostly comes under the heading of "trolling".
Please do not feed the trolls.

As an aside, I would prefer that our devs not use Gentoo mailing lists
for barely-Gentoo-related rants, since doing so does tend to make us
look a tad unprofessional.  On the other hand, Gentoo is a community
distribution that is developed by volunteers, not a professional
company, and moreover, I trust that people reading our mailing lists can
take what our devs say with the appropriate "grains of salt".

Best,
