That wasn't my intention; I added that comment simply to stop the flow of one-line emails. > Every second post is you and Ciaran bitching at each other I do wish one of you devs would pick him up on his behaviour _on the list_ one of these days.. instead it's _always_ me who gets the flak. Or do you think his post was anything other than a "one-liner with zero content, and no intent but to insult"? > or you complaining about every single thing we do that you > don't personally like. Not complaining, simply pointing out better ways to do things; a technical discussion iow. The reason that has been more difficult a discussion than it should be is because of the unpleasant comments from McCreesh, Ferdy and Leverton. > We appreciate your input, but please respect our > right to do things the way we think is best for us, even if they aren't > aligned to your personal preferences. > I was never under the impression that Gentoo devs would do anything other than whatever they wanted.
