One issue is certainly that nobody wants to engage with people that instantly try and make this personal, or just uncomfortable in general. Then it's better to focus on other things that are more rewarding and pleasant, nobody needs extra drama in their life. I sure as hell don't. And unfortunately I find that your postings most often degenerate to that. Which is a shame, because there's good stuff in a lot of these patches, but it's often not worth the time/energy investment because of it. -- Jens Axboe
