As I previously said, that was only supposed to go to you and not to the list in general. Yes, I got personal very fast. My feelings were hurt and I allowed my emotions to get the better of me in (what I intended to be) a private email. Again, I apologize for that. I should have been more mature about it instead of jumping off like that. I approached you once before about the gay jokes and your reply was that you have a gay roommate and you just sort of brushed it off. I will tell you now what I should have told you back then: I don't mind gay jokes, I love gay jokes. I DO mind the constantly saying "That's gay" as a put down. You obviously mean it to be demeaning like being gay is "Less than", something to be laughed at or something. Every time you (or anyone else for that matter) say "that's gay" as a put down it hurts my feelings. Will you please stop saying it? > > i'm assuming you're referring to Bug 131943 ... which wasnt filed by you or > assigned to you ... looks like a general documentation bug to me > > since the about page was pretty much neutered of any relevant Gentoo structure > information, my closing of it was pretty logical > Difference in interpretation I suppose. It was assigned to "Website www.gentoo.org". I'm www.gentoo.org (along with some other people). I think of it the same way you think of the games herd. Not that it's "Your's" but if someone were to randomly come along and close game bugs that they had nothing previously to do with and that wasn't in the games herd, wouldn't you get a little miffed? Especially if they made a remark that seemed to you to be rude when they closed it? > you really need to get out of this mind frame of the website being "yours" > > it isnt "yours", nor is it "mine" > > it belongs to Gentoo > -mike I never said the website "Belonged to me". However, I am on the team that is working on it so I have a personal connection to it. Not that that makes it "Mine" in any way but I do feel protective of it just like I'm sure you feel about E17 or any of your other projects. In fact, I think I've been pretty open to suggestions and input from the developer community on most of the major issues. Also, I specifically redefined my entire role in this project so that I could work more closely with Infra, neysx and all the other devs that manage our websites. Inviting all those other people to directly help me with the redesign project is something I did specifically because it *isn't* mine and I needed more active input from other devs to help guide it down the proper path. I'm sorry if I changed the pages without asking first. That's what this all boils down too. I got sick of looking at that poster and was making a change to the way the headers worked anyway (in conjunction with neysx) so I just changed it. I didn't ask first and neysx didn't know anything about it. I did post a news item though, I didn't just secretly change it and not say anything. So I'm asking now, if I figure out a cool way to work Larry into the "Classic" design can I take down the poster? Or at the very least change the poster to type and just use the little Larry logo? Please? I'm begging you? With whipped cream and a cherry? --Curtis
