No, that is not what happened. I understand why it would feel that way to you, because of some inferiority complex of not using “real” Arch, but it has nothing to do with reality. For more info, please consult this thread:
Now, what actually happened is that I took issue with you calling the Arch community unwelcoming. The Arch community is a great one. I’ve never had any problems with them, quite the contrary, I’ve had nothing but good experiences there. Why? Because I followed their rules and never tried to deceive them.
