Description Linux Blues 2006-12-15 10:46:38 UTC
Developer Ferdy treats as stupid another users, not developers.

Here's an example: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-322065.html

Another one: We need a spanish speaker here, search in the spanish forum, or ask Stolz for posts talking about "LinuxBlues Vs. Ferdy" he has deleted. I was wrong and I tried to "fight" with his attitude, but he is rude enough and has the power to tell forum administrators, as a developer, to cancel my account. And they've done it.

Ferdy is rude, and a disadvantage to Gentoo. Analize very quietly his attitude, please.

To clear things up a bit, ferdy alone has not the power to get someone banned. Your behaviour was reported to us by Stolz as not perfect, you were warned about it, but did not listen. As a consequence your account was banned, but not based on Stolz' request alone, but also after review by one of our admins (tomk if i'm not mistaken - not 100% sure, could you confirm that once you're back?), who speaks spanish.

As for your second and third account, they were banned instantly after discovery by ferdy, but simply because evading a ban is a reason for a ban itself.

Quit honestly if this is the way you behave on forums I can only support the forums admins decision to ban you. I've also been told (and shown) that you've created new accounts to circumvent your ban. That's completely unacceptable.

So if you want to solve this conflict you have to:
- Stop circumventing bans
- Stop calling other imbecils etc.

I'm going to give you a chance to show that you can behave yourself while I look at your complaint but any more abusive behaviour and name calling will get you a ban on bugzilla too.

Hi LinuxBlues!

I think that you were banned because insult other forums gentoo members is not allowed in the forums. I am going to refresh your memory:

Here Ferdy explains by himself he's unable to sound (maybe be) polite. Just /join #gentoo-es and ask him a simple, trivial question... You'll see.

pacho, if you're unable to understand "meterse donde a uno no le llaman", "no tenemos nada de que hablar".

Translation: pacho, plz, don't get into my matters again, you're behaving like me ;-)

First, when we were friends, he created an account for me at gentoo-es.org, now, as I requested it, he deleted my account, and now, as he noticed I haven't modified my account, he has created a new account to read my messages, isn't it enough?

From what I've been able to gather from lots of different people ferdy haven't done anything wrong.

LinuxBlues on the other hand have shown himself to make rude and uncalled for remarks against ferdy and other people.

As LinuxBlues is a user and not a developer I think the right solution is already taken by banning him from forums.

Closing bug.

Well, it depends, could you show us who and what have they said, please?

There are posts in the forums confirming my point of view. There are people on irc channel #gentoo-es that queried me talking about his rudeness, I keep logs of all private messages, and I've asked they for permission to add their comments here on this bug, I'm waiting for their replies, if I won't get an answer I won't add any of the logs here.

> As LinuxBlues is a user and not a developer
I accept it to mark as invalid as I'm not a developer, but resolved?

What's the way to go ahead and avoid his rudeness forever? User Reps?

I won't reopen this bug unless I don't get any answer, I need to shut up a developer who is unable to be polite.

Several developers (both forums mods/admins and ebuild developers) have told me they don't think ferdy is being rude and that you've been trolling on forums.

Personally I have never seen ferdy being rude or unhelpful to anybody (and I've known him for quite a while now) so I went to quite some trouble talking to lots of people to get a proper picture of this situation. As everybody confirmed your bad behaviour and even your behaviour on this bug was quite bad I closed the bug as invalid.

As for "shutting up a developer", that simply won't happen. I suggest you clean up your own behaviour instead and remove the basis for getting into fights with developers and forums mods/admins.

You can't see it as a consequence. Dunno why...

Well, you win, reopened till you'll make publicly available who has said it, and what have they said about him or maybe me, I don't care... Learn to see my rudeness as a a consecuence of his rudeness, please, I know I'm lost behaving like him, but... I'm being like him.

Please, please, PLEASE, don't make me post queries from the irc channel without permission, it surely will be a pleasure to me, as all of them will demonstrate the reason for this bug and my behaviour.

It doesn't matter at all. My decision is mostly based on your bad behaviour in this bug. Keep reopening this silly bug and I'll disable your forums account as well.

What I have right now is you saying ferdy is a bad boy and several people saying ferdy isn't a bad boy. As I don't understand spanish I can't decipher the logs unfortunately but I can damn well understand your bad behaviour in this bug and I'm not going to allow that.

Capiche?
Comment 24 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-28 14:07:38 UTC
Sorry, I need to say something here.  My comment is aimed specifically at this "LinuxBlues":  how in the world can you *possibly* justify degenerating your own behaviour based on that of another person?  Let's forget the irony in following that up with you complaining about that other person.

The reason we're closing this bug is your behaviour as the bug's filer.  You have failed to demonstrate ferdy's rudeness, but have more than aptly demonstrated your own.  And you do it continuously.  Using ferdy as your excuse to behave badly simply reduces your already low credibility even further.

If you intend to file complaints in the future, please ensure that your own behaviour is up to par.  Thus far, it has been far below (and I'm honestly a little embarrassed for you).

Everyone else, please forgive the bug-spam.
Comment 25 Linux Blues 2006-12-29 02:31:34 UTC
Yes, I was angered and it doesn't explain my rudeness.

Maybe too late, but LinuxBlues apologizes.

I'm awfully sorry.
Comment 26 Linux Blues 2007-01-30 05:46:52 UTC
At least, there's one (the only one) human being here who is able to recognize his rudeness...
