No that is fact, given how people keep discussing and focusing on punishment.
It clearly shows a mindset and the atmosphere. Not a friendly one!

You do not know me, and you are reading things I did not write. Worrying about 
things I am not even discussing. None of that comes from me....

I see allot of people talking who became developers years after I was one. I 
do not see any respect for those that came before. No respect for wisdom 
gained over a decade, etc.

I routinely will google Gentoo New Developer, with a persons name. Rarely am I 
talking to anyone from say before 2010. Most have become developers since and 
have a very different perspective.
