You had a custom Gentoo Image, just for you, deployed, which you were quite happy with, and now you have the audacity to slander Nathaniel’s and I’s work?
Oh my, slander. Let's see:
Slander: noun [ C or U ] UK /ˈslɑːn.dər/ US /ˈslæn.dɚ/ a false spoken statement about someone that damages their reputation, or the making of such a statement.
Nope, no slander. No "fake news" either.
If you take the time to search your memory, you'll find that I actually set up the Gentoo image myself and then agreed to let you make a copy of it for your own use.
You know exactly what happened, and what with you using this forum to advertise, I thought it best to add my own opinion here as well, because not all is well and rosy. Oh, and I only take umbrage at your conduct, not Nathaniel's, with whom I did not have any direct dealings. Since you told me that you two are the whole staff of GreyPony IT, and since you're the owner, it is a weighty reason for me to avoid business with you.
I know one should not attribute to malice what can be just as well be explained with incompetence, but either way, I don't feel comfortable with the situation. Your outburst only confirms that I made the right decision. I have been in this business for more than 35 years, and while it is good policy to give amateurs a chance, I usually choose to work with professionals. That's *my* choice, nobody else has to share it, but I can heartily recommend it if money is involved.
