I have an ugly email address that marks me as untouchable for after having ever written something for Debian Planet? The universe loves screwing me over? Who knows? I haven't gotten a reason from anyone yet. DAMnation is getting ridiculous. I've been in it for 10 months now and my patience has never been this tested in my life before. I'm starting to wonder why I should volunteer any more time or effort to a project that continues to ignore me and an IRC channel that loves to mock me relentlessly. Sure I'm only maintaining a few minor packages at the moment, but I have been respond to bug reports in a reasonable fashion. But now that's there doesn't seem to be any hope of me ever becoming a developer, I might as well stop telling others that Debian is more than just a distribution, but a community and just throw my packages out the window. Why can't James Troup just come out and say something, anything? I can't stand this silent treatment anymore. What on Earth have I done to piss him off but to send a polite request for an explanation a month ago? It's hard enough finding a purpose in life when you're clinically depressed, but it's worse when nothing at all is rewarding and just turns to shit. If someone in NM wants to expel me for this rant, then go ahead, but make it OFFICIAL so that I can actually give up on Debian and everything else with the full knowledge that no one gives a flying fuck about me anyway. By the way, don't tell me to stop bitching and that it won't get me anywhere. Well I've kept quiet and patient and it hasn't got me anywhere either. You'd feel the same if you were in the same boat as any other NM who's waited for over 6 months without explanation. Bring on the fucking flame-war. Something has to burn. Might as well be me. Have a nice day, Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau PS: Apologies for the language.
