She (and everyone here) talks about it being OK to criticize code but not OK to offend people personally, which seems like a rather reasonable concept -- but does anyone have actual examples of the latter, to put everything in context? I see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135628421403144&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135628421403144&w=2 and http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=136157944603147&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=136157944603147&w=2 quoted, but to me it looks like both are about code?
