To be entirely clear. It's a personal issue.

Being on the receiving end of a firehose which spills liquid manure for
more than 15 years is not a pleasant experience at all.

Being accused to have unreasonable, unactionable and even bizarre review
requests (mostly behind the scenes) is not helping either.

I'm dead tired of sitting down for hours explaining basics in lengthy
emails over and over just to get yet another experience of being ignored
after a couple of months filled with silence.

While I did not do that in this particular context, I read back on the
previous incarnations of this crud and found out that you are in the
exact same situation.

So what's the difference? Nothing at all.

It's about time that someone speaks up in unambiguous words to make it
entirely clear that this is not acceptable at all in the kernel
community as a whole and not just because a single person being
unreasonable or whatever.

Both of us wasted enough time already to explain how to do it
right. There is no point anymore to proliferate any of these political
correctness games further.

Thanks,

        Thomas
