Even if you think that is an OK way to treat anyone - which it isn't, certainly not on dri-devel@ with the fd.o Code of Conduct, and not according to the kernel's either - I have absolutely no idea how you can look at the work the AMD people have put in over many years and conclude that they're 'lazy'. If this makes you so angry, step back from the keyboard for a few minutes, and if you still can't participate in reasonable discussion like an adult, maybe step out of the thread entirely.
