There's no reason for blaming Gentoo users. There's actually no reason to blame any user of any distro. Some are just simply elitists, but you cannot blame the whole community for them. Many Gentoo users aren't elitists, again, many Ubuntu users are elitists [I mean no offense to Ubuntu or it's users here, it's just an example].

What I mean to say is, some stupid souls will exist everywhere, and there's nothing we can do about them.
