Oh I know, you've even kindly helped me a few times backporting fixes for things I absolutely did not understand and took the time to explain to me. So I have nothing against your communication mode, quite the opposite, and people who know me know that mine has some similarities (a bit less extreme in wording though). I'm used to say that I prefer to discuss with people who I disagree with because they're those from whom there is more to learn, and they're the most likely to make me change my opinions. > I curse when there isn't any argument.
