Re:Why Sean is such an Asshat to Gentoo Devs/Users

[darkmeridian]

There is a reason Gaim devs hate Gentoo users. The users mess with all the settings instead of compiling the source "straight". They put all these compile flags and stuff trying to optimize the hell out of an instant messenging client. Then they bitch and complain to the devs about how the software sucks.

This is just to illustrate both sides. I used to use Gentoo and I was annoyed by my fellow users.
