Subject: [gentoo-project] Formal apology to Michał Górny, Rich Freeman, et al

I would like to publicly apologize for the aggressive and abusive remarks that I
directed at Michał Górny, Rich Freeman, and others during my tenure as a Gentoo
developer and Trustee.
I've spent some time thinking about my involvement in libre software. I allowed
my idealism to get the best of me, and trusted evidence presented to me by
strangers that was situational and out of context, from conversations that I was
not party to. I later learned that my involvement in said group was misguided,
and I was used as a convenient tool for social disruption. It doesn't excuse my
behavior, however, since it reflected poorly on Gentoo and its Foundation, and
created unnecessary strife in a "workplace" of sorts that already has enough
stressors.
To clarify, I only write this much to explain the course of events succinctly,
to claim that I was not coerced or legally compelled, and I have made no contact
in my absence. (i.e. there's no hidden story) I'm just here to say, "Sorry for
being an asshole."
Sincerely,
Daniel Campbell
