It's always funny to browse with google. Frequently you find what you were looking for; sometimes even more :)

Today, looking for something related to arch, I've just found out that some persons (mostly related to GNOME/Hurd, whatever, using Savannah) are not really sure if I am a "gros chieur" or a "petit con". A guy named "dodji" would go for the first one. Another, called "manuel" would pick the second option.

The dodji guy is likely to be sdodji, member of the project mlview. I do not know exactly who he is, what he wants. The only thing I can tell is the fact that I several handled his support requests at savannah.

This manuel is likely to be manuel menal, a guy I'v met on IRC a several times, several years ago. But this guy "knows me well" ("je le connais bien" he said). I do not now exactly what is his problem. Apparently it is related to Savannah but it looks like he sent private messages, while the guy he was writing to was replying publicly, so there's probably a part (that could be guessed, though) missing.

What is interesting, in my opinion, in all of this, is the fact that these guys feel entitled to insult me not because of things I would have said that are not ok in their opinion (that would not have been a surprise to me; I usually speak frankly, I do not expect to avoid harsh statements in return), but because what they apparently think they know about my involvement in Savannah.

"and there are a hell of a lot of people in the world like you, that I have seen
there are hell of a lot of people in the world like you" were singing the Newtown Neurotics. Never ever found a community immune to this.

Update: Intrigued, I found even more funny involving mmenal and Savannah. Apparently a guy was saying a project was refused at Savannah. Here comes manuel cclaiming that to get an account accepted, one just have to ask him, because he is very familiar with people at Savannah (just like if Savannah at that time had some kind of registration approval process that applied only to one part of the registrations). So in 2002, he was already such a pretentious and plainly off-topic guy. Marvellous.

What a bunch of assholes exists in France, frankly. One other guy went as far as going on irc with my pseudo (+ an underscore) saying obvious crap. This is free software in France. Well; hopefully, this is a part of free software.

Bah, I don't like humans anyway. Apart from my girlfriend, my cat and my family, I dont care about the world. Why should I?
