I would like to make it clear that apparent, threats made by me were hypothetical and I have done nothing to threaten the annual 2006 Event in anyway shape or form. Neither have I emailed any of my contacts at Universities putting Gentoo down in anyway. The topic remains slanderous against me in the channel, and many people have agreed by private message in IRC I have done a good job. As a matter of fact, personally with my time and money, it has cost me "Personally" around £1,200.00 ($2,000.00 USD) to organize the last 2004 & 2005 event. Please do not get me wrong, there was a misunderstanding and I encouraged regional events at the end of the last of the 2005 Annual event, however I came up against people making "unjustified complaints" about me and private messaging Stuart complaining about me and he now has me on /ignore in IRC. I have been compassionate and tried to help Gentoo, however this attitude really needs to cease against me. It is very unfair. I put a lot of time and money into making the events work. The last thing we need is for this to continue. Besides, it is not doing anyone any favours, plus I have "not" emailed Dr Young or Professor Owen LeBlanc slandering Gentoo. I strongly urge this dispute to be handled diplomatically. What it the point in "Burning one's Bridges?". Kind Regards, Reuben Finch -- gentoo-pr@gentoo.org mailing list
