The Gentoo Release Engineering project is pleased to announce the much-delayed release of Gentoo Linux 2007.0, code named 'Secret Sauce'. This release met with several delays due to an abnormally high number of security vulnerabilities in large packages which had to be rebuilt using the newer, secure versions of the packages. Update: Screenshots!

A gentoo "Ricer" has nothing to do with asians. "Ricer" is a word for users on gentoo using very weird C(XX)FLAGS and Use Flags. It's not related to asians. The fact you believe shows you are completely off.
I didn't call the poster a moron. I used the word moron in my post but not against the poster. Using the word is not offensive in itself nor is it a personal attack - since I didn't use the word for particular person. You could call it a collective attack but then the collective doesn't exist. And I was modded down. He modded down the post where I wrote he was incorrect - despite being completely neutral in my writing. My 2nd post is harsher but still no attacks of any kind.
Fact is the poster claimed something incorrect. Even if he used a 486 he still wouldn't have to compile for a month.
I don't know why you are interfering. I am right - he was wrong. EOF.

Don't kid yourself on etymology of the word ricer. I was just showing how your post can be construed as being just as offensive as his. Don't try and kid yourself.
You're getting awfully defensive and not doing a very good job at it.
PS I love the absolute at the end of the post. I will stop responding this after this oh lord of the internet =x

I'm sorry you found that offensive. Stop being such a baby. For all you know he could have a 486 and be compiling for an actual week. You even contradicted yourself a bit by saying gentoo users know better, but then you talk about about how some of them too...I'm confused.
If anything, your 2nd response could be construed as being a personal attack. Moron is a generally derogatory word, and ricer is not the preferred nomenclature for asian americans. But he didn't mod you down.
Again - Stop being such a baby. You came across like a preteen whining because someone said his myspace page sucks. Look, I didn't have to mod you down at all. I just responded and pointed out how horrible your post was.
