Can you please stop calling open communication abuse? First you have to explain *why* it was improper in order to call it abuse, and in the few examples that have been shown, it has been explained that the behavior was justified (breaking the #1 rule by a lieutenant who should know better). > I think it's pretty clear that one doesn't need to be verbally abusive > in order to stop bad code from getting into the kernel. You can think whatever you want, others have already shown that changing the tone of the message in the examples would have changed the desired effect. -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
