I've never seen Debian Developers as united as in some of the threads you've been involved in on d-private. The difficulty I see is that they were all united *against* you, which I don't imagine would enhance a DPLs effectiveness. > >>Whatever my other flaws, you can be guaranteed that I will always > >>listen to what you have to say. > > > >Please explain how you reconcile this statement with the fact that I > >have been assured by several people that you posted a copy of your IRC > >client's config file, showing that you are ignoring all comments from > >one of Debian's release managers. > > Since every comment you've made about me on IRC for the past three years > has been nasty, rude, and unpleasant, I put you on /ignore.

So why did you make a joke on #d-devel? Do you honestly think that everyone on #d-devel is your friend? Perhaps you can clarify a few other comments you've made as to whether they're jokes amongst friends, restrained tones, trolling, or something else: "To the ladies: have you repaid your debt to your parents, ancestors, and the human race by bearing lots of healthy children with good genes, and an affluent, easy to get-along-with father?" http://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2004/07/msg00217.html "perhaps you will show your lack of discrimination by mating with a chimpanzee!" http://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2004/07/msg00225.html "If you want to hang out with the boys, that is fine, we are happy to have you." and "All of the activities you mentioned are auxiliary, compared to what the male Debian members do" http://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2004/07/msg00239.html - Matt
