@Michael:
I appeal to you to simply delete the article (not this forum thread), it literally only exists as result of misinformation from an outright troll.Last edited by korrode; 09 July 2014, 02:29 AM.

Dear Michael,
Originally posted by korrode View PostMichael, you've allowed yourself to be duped, since i am a Manjaro development team member and interestingly, I am not Phil Muller.
A handful of people left, one of them has gone on to attempt to 'troll' us by any avenue he can (including malicious attacks on web servers, impersonation of us on other website/services, and much more), of which this Phoronix article is assisting him with. The Manjaro team still stands at at least 15+ people.
Of those who left, only one was a "core" team member, the rest were forum moderators and one was an edition maintainer.
In future Michael if you have any questions about Manjaro please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Rob McCathie
I've been a follower of phoronix for the last 3+ years. I've seen you increasing the pace of new articles produced. I'm a workaholic too. But I've had to reduce my daily worktime to 10 hours or less, because it had a serious impact on the quality of my work.
The quality of your articles has decreased significantly. You may have gotten away with being "duped" this time. Please stop your "10 articles a day" mantra. I don't want to see you making a complete fool out of yourself.
Again: I prefer one single well researched article a day over 10 shallow fifteen-liners.
regards Willi ...

Phoronix is and always has been a Linux tabloid.
Every article is graced with Michael's shit-eating grin that screams "how can I manipulate the FLOSS community today?".
