Most of the affected developers are perfectly aware of the purpose of those attacks. If there was anything to be done to resolve the situation peacefully, we'd have done it long time ago. However, we can't and are not going to yield to people's unfounded demands based purely on the pressure inflicted by their misbehavior. I believe this is as far as I can answer you. Going beyond that goes into public judgment of private issues which is unacceptable on this mailing list. > But no, the Gentoo developers are always above reproach.

It is quite ironic that you worry about a 'future reader' needing to be convinced in this past post (presuming you have some infinite knowledge of what kind of details would a 'future reader' consider satisfying) and at the same time you clearly reject to search for any past posts on the topic. Also, I should point out that you don't get to tell me what my job is. If you believe this thread should contain such data, please collect it yourself in your own time and include it in a reply. However, I should point out that you should respect all the rules we're talking about. I'd rather spend the time doing something that is of much greater importance of Gentoo users than some potential decision that will probably no longer be remembered in 12 months, except in snarky comments. > > I understand that you might want to know things.

I should point out that your personal attacks are also unacceptable. If you disagree with the proposal, then please focus on discussing facts and not trying to prove your opponent's incompetence. > > People's private issues are not topic of this mailing list.

It only causes very unfair 'community judgment' where community judges based on abusive facts of one side where the other side is unable to provide counter-arguments without violating the privacy rules. Please consider that you have exhausted all the time I had available for you. Please do not expect any further answers from me, and give others a fair chance of getting developers' attention. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
