Sure coding style is important but lets not get personal here. I personally think there should be an established coding style that should be kept to as much as possible but the way to implement that is by helping the contributors to do so with tools etc, not by castigating them in a "hall of shame". Isn't open source about inclusion and creativity? Just my opinion. --kish -----Original Message----- From: Dana Lacoste [mailto:dana.lacoste@peregrine.com] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 1:19 PM To: 'Larry McVoy'; Henning Schmiedehausen Cc: Jeff Garzik; linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: RE: Coding style - a non-issue Any chance that you guys could calm down a bit?

This one I understood though : Al made a personal attack. He defended against the attack, and preluded his defence with a disclaimer. This issue has gone beyond productivity to personal name calling and spurious defence. Can we all just move on a bit maybe?
