I'm not defending Christoph, I'm trying to help YOU understand why your patchsets always turn sour. And I'm trying to get this toxicity off the list, because it's frankly not productive at all and it's hurting the developer environment for everybody else. If everybody else seems like an asshole, maybe it's actually you? A little introspection would be prudent. If you can't change your tone, please just go somewhere else. I'm not interested. -- Jens Axboe
