 You would certainly make that point. then let the other employee leave

 the future. Therefore saving the services of one of the best employees
 (and with it money) and also said employee knows /exactly/ where he
 stands for the future.
 
 It is called man-management and people skills, something that is
 severely lacking in Gentoo at the moment

Mate that's the first time in ages that I've truly agreed with what you've

No, twice he said one of the best employees. Honestly Ciarian, I'd think
you of all people would not want to mis-quote someone.

Fortunately some people value integrity above what you call man-management and

Thats the whole point about why it is lacking: using man management and 
people skills you can keep your integrity

First of all, get your facts straight.  The bugzilla incident of which
you speak happened before all of this.  Second of all, the language is
irrelevant.  Point is, he was acting like an asshole to somebody , so
he got abused in return.

Indeed both of us were assholes that day, I never denied that.  The
difference is, Diego was being an asshole to somebody who was merely
trying to test packages in a manner consistent with his training as an
arch dev.  I was being an asshole to Diego for being an asshole.

You really need to stop putting words in people's mouths.  That makes
you an asshole without reason, and now I'm being an asshole to you
because you are being an asshole.  In other words, shut up and take
your bullshit FUD about the mips team out of this discussion, and go
wrangle some bugs.

Retiring or not, *any* developer calling another developer a f**khead 
should be suspended immediately pending an investigation. It would get 
an instant ban from the forums.


Is there a reason why this wasn't done?

OK, you three. Knock it off.  Right now.  This is exactly the sort of
utter nonsense that we've been talking about viz. what's going on on
this mailing list.

There is no excuse to be an asshole, Stephen, because in doing so (even
as a retaliation) renders your own point null and void.  It's one thing
to defend a teammate, it's entirely another to display the sort of
behavioural issues that you seem intent on doing.

George, please take your concerns to DevRel, rather than this list.

Steve (long): you've been going on and on in various threads after only
half-reading, do you really need to respond to everything, everywhere,
every time?

The thing is, (this goes for all three of you, at a minimum), just
because you *can* speak, does not necessarily mean that you *should*.

Thanks,

Seemant

No, Diego asked to not keyword an obsolete KDE meta version ~mips
because we all know the history with MIPS keywording and lingering stale
crap in portage; also because it's completely unneeded for KDE support
on mips and also because it'd create a huge and pointless maintenance
overhead for already understaffed KDE team. That definitely doesn't
qualify as 'being an asshole', it was a legitimate maintainer's request
based on long-term experience with mips team.

 Indeed, so eroyf was told to stop screwing up, he just didn't get it
 (apparently neither did you, for that matter). And don't start this

I'm not putting anything in anyone's mouth, and I'd suggest that you
wash your mouth before further posting to this mailing list, your
vocabulary is kinda ridiculous.

Plus, everyone can read the babysitting history on the relevant
keywording bug (yeah if anyone wonders, kdelibs still unkeyworded about
5 months after the bug has been filed).
