I'm unhappy with current behaviour of some users, that sorting out their relationship publicly on mailing lists that aren't intended for this. This is not the first time I have been paying attention to this, and in this time I was triggered by the veremitz (Michael Everett) posted irrelevant things (about private comrel bug) to gentoo-project@ with public biting and personal attacks. In response to pointing him on that fact that this wasn't the right place for such things, he began snaping and making excuses around pseudo-philosophic thesises. My concern is that there is some kind of "moral standards" about discussing comrel issues, and nobody (except special people) cares about such a soap operas. I see this behaviour is a repeating pattern so I think ComRel should find a way to somehow deal with it Reproducible: Always
I don't know what you want us to do here. He's already been banned, though I must admit I'm not sure if that was solely from gentoo-dev. He picked a fight with ComRel and decided to go down fighting. Given the nature of what we do, that's to be expected sometimes. And yes, he did post a short excerpt from a private bug but that bug was about himself so let's not blow it out of proportion. He had some strong words for ComRel but I don't believe it was personal. It was clearly the wrong tone but he's still entitled to his opinion and as we've seen from the recent RFC, gentoo-project is actually the right place to voice concerns about ComRel.
Permanent ban enacted as per bug 710780
