sure. Could we begin with you not doing derogative, belittling comments
like:
<hch> so -rt folks also restart the lock brigade crap :P
and:
* hch hands Peter Zijlstra the mister braindead locking madness award
but to show a little bit of .. respect and goodwill towards the work of
others? Those comments might sound funny to you, but they are offensive
to me.
I'll readily admit that the patches are complex and even ugly, but the
problem is complex and ugly to begin with. /Finally/ someone comes along
and tries to sort out the mess that YOU (amonst others, like me) have
not fixed for years, and you welcome his (hard!) efforts with ridicule?
You also are NAK-ing the same patches on lkml for clearly bogus reasons:
for example your 'this is lockdep internals' comment was off the mark by
far. So this isnt just colorful comments, it is also actual prejudice
that is irrational and harmful.
Linux will take 100 years to break into the mainstream if this attitude
prevails. And i think this is a far bigger problem than pretty much
/any/ technological problem we have at the moment so i will continue to
be upset about it, no matter how uncomfortable it is to finally face
this and no matter how ugly such flames might look externally.
Or if you really cannot talk about hard problems without insulting
others then /just dont do it/. Nobody is forcing you to do this if you
cannot find any fun in it, really.
