No! A flawed patch is not the equivalent of "taking a dump" in someone's yard. Proposing a flawed patch is not a contemptuous act, it's not insulting, and it is not injurious. Treating it as such is the problem.
Telling someone they "should not be anywhere near Linux kernel development" and to "just go away" is degrading and contemptuous.
- rini17 6y ago...and right thing to do in these circumstances.
- nix23 6y agoNo! Talking or writing about another person like that (in public) is shameful for that Guy and for that Hellwig Clown (the guy who lost against VMware) too. If you say something like that in private..ok, not nice but acceptable but NOT in Public that should be absolute clear for any decent human being.
- ghthor 6y agoGo work a month with these kernel maintainers and then come back and report how you feel about having to review these turds.
- nix23 6y ago>review these turds Are you talking about the Kernel-maintainers or the Patches?
- pritambaral 6y agoI feel like the difference of opinion you and us are having here are ultimately over the difference in perspective here. You label it as merely a "flawed patch". The original comment by the kernel dev that incited this whole debate isn't even directed at the flaw in the patch, so it kinda feels like you're arguing at cross purposes here.
