Linus calling people names seems like a distraction from solving any actual problems.
- GyYZTfWBfQw 8y agoHe doesn't just call people names. He explains what his problem is.
- gizmo686 8y agoThat was the type of "actual problem" I was reffering to. And I stand by my assesment that the new CoC is a distraction from solving it. (Actually, given the timing, the new CoC might be a signal that he is trying to solve it, in which case I would still put it under the umbrella of distraction)
- Paul-ish 8y agoYou don't address gizmo686's concern, which is that rules without an enforcement or adjudication mechanism are ineffectual or unfairly applied. It's a valid criticism.
- lawnchair_larry 8y agoYet, we have Linux and git, which did in fact solve problems.
