Re: [gentoo-user] Again: Critical bugs considered invalid

[felix@crowfix.com]

Complaining TWICE worked.  The problem I complained about shouldn't
have happened in the first place; someonex fixed something that wasn't
broken and made it broken.

Your response is absolutely typical of my problem with the gentoo dev
community.  You misstate a complaint, overreact to it, and apparently
feel pretty smug about your accomplishment.  No one will admit to the
two screwups (first breaking a working ebuild, second incorrectly
closing a bug on it).  Instead you lash out at those who point out
problems.

Yes, I had the wrong program when I compalined about the color
problem.  But the gentoo community response then as now was to lash
out, scream and shout, not to actually investigate.  And when I
finally left the thread alone, you geniuses were still ranting about
it three days later when I next checked.

You folks may think you have a cool system, and it is in some ways and
could be in many others.  But I know many people who tried gentoo and
bailed precisely because of the shoot the messenger mentality so
pervasive here; the self-selected sample you see is meaningless.

Go ahead, have another three days' fun.  Maybe I'll spark some more
tinders in a month or two.  I wouldn't want to deprive you of your
fun.
