I'm not trolling.  I'm asking questions and giving ideas on some things
that could be done better and making personal observations to back up my
thinking.  If that is considered trolling then what is a
developer/staff/etc called when he ignores suggestions or questions from
others who care about Gentoo and would like to see it improve?  From the
Gentoo page:

"What is trolling? You are deemed to be trolling if you make comments
intended to provoke an angry response from others."

I'm not trying to provoke a angry response.  I'm trying to get answers,
provide some suggestions and discuss problems.  None of my posts fits
into what you claim. 

See, this is part of the problem that has gone on for years.  If anyone
asks questions that can not be ignored, they get called names which is a
personal insult.  Again, from the Gentoo page:

"Unacceptable behaviour"

"Being judgmental, mean-spirited or insulting."

To call me a troll when I am only trying to get answers and provide
suggestions, that violates the code of conduct.  The sad thing is, you
did it with a .gentoo.org account which makes it a official email.  So,
now we have a official Gentoo person posting that a long term, LONG
term, user is a troll when they don't fit Gentoo's own description of a
troll. 

Do you really want to stick with your comment?  To be honest, you may
want to think about what you just did. 

I want to discuss problems, work for solutions and try to make Gentoo
better.  I'm not attacking, trolling or calling anyone else bad names or
anything of the sort.
