You write as if giving feedback on Gentoo's packaging required only your work. Please acknowledge that __using anything__ from ::gentoo meant that someone had to work on it and that being a user, even an active one, is way less demanding than a package maintainer, not even a developer! > And it is not beating a dead horse but giving feedback you need. Seeing as you have been muted and no one seems to protest I would wager what you call feedback is not needed. As a human being I can say that the 8 links show that besides providing technical feedback you also needlessly throw in aggressive statements. I cannot think of any other use for them that to make the people responsible (volunteers!) feel bad. This is a _very_ bad way of trying to get someone to do something. Let me try to constructively criticize bug report #960773 as a non-developer. You stated what the problem is and with the help of a LLM figured out why it happened. This I think is good! However the last paragraph: > I’ve been using Gentoo for 12 years and I have never been so > disappointed by the Gentoo as I was when this happened to say > the least. Why even mention it? Does it help getting the bug fixed? You have lost your files, it was not your fault and you feel bad. This is understandable. I think mentioning it serves no purpose though. Then you mention the 12 years. Yes, it is a long time. Is it relevant? I do not think so. This gives the report a tone that you are superior to people working on it (see also "failure of common sense in general") and as the superior you criticize, sometimes aggressively, and demand someone's action as if you paid them and were their boss. Your communication style was just inappropriate in these bugs so I agree with Sam's "The tone of this isn't OK". I assume that as a long-time user you want the best for the distribution. Trying to shame volunteers into work _will_ do more harm than good so do not try to do that. Please accept that and show our developers basic respect (or even gratefulness ;)). Regards fkobi
