I got two things from his reply to me earlier. First, he talks about not offending someone then goes and does it anyway. Second, he is going to continue to do it even after people have asked him not to. I don't think I am the first person to bring up his language and/or attitude either. I think anyone that read his reply to me can see for themselves who and what he is and what he will do in the future on this list. Now they get to decide whether to do the same as I have done. For the first time in over eight years, I have blacklisted a person. That's not just a first for this list but for anyone, anywhere. I just hope this corrects itself before this turns Gentoo back several years to what was a really bad time for all of us. Disagreement is one thing but this is totally uncalled for.
