Never use character attacks, even when a character is accusing
you of doing so.

When facts fail you, advance forward to methodology and logic.

I like Oren's approach, which is: often more important than who
is right is the overall teamwork effect. This is methodology
triumphing over fact.

You were disparaging an entire distro: Gentoo. I was revealing
that you possibly didn't understand how to run it yet, and that
it is better to say kind things about that which you do
not understand. You later returned to say kind things about
Gentoo. I consider the job well done.

p.s. while we're on the subject of character attacks, is there
anything you *don't* disparage? Look through your posts
to KCLUG for the past decade and see what I mean. Almost all
of mine are off-topic. Almost all of yours are insulting or
complaining about something or another. I'm working on getting
on topic.
