OK, this thread has gone well beyond anything useful. Please stop here. Now.

"dersteppenwolf": this is not the sort of commentary that is welcome on LWN. You are not the only offender here, but you've been pushing the boundaries. Please stop.

*Thank* you.

(I'll admit I suck at knowing when to stop, too. I'll shut up in this
thread as well.)

Corbet, please accept my most sincere apologies. I couldn't help it but defend myself against the obvious libelous and disrespectful attitude of this person and others, and felt morally obliged to comply with my ethical duties and present my personal perspective on these matters.

I did my best to try to get along and have a well mannered discussion here, but these people aren't the least interested on a civilized interaction. They come here with lies and banter, meaningless follow-ups which don't add anything of interest, but project their flaws and personal views in such a fascist way that any attempt to communicate with them ends in failure.

In addition, when they've been left out of arguments to support their claims, they resort to insulting people and calling them out as 'trolls'. I don't even know what they mean by 'troll' in this sense. Are they trying to make jokes about my physical appearance or disabilities?

Sigh, I had a better opinion of the Linux fan base until today.

Hats off. That must be the best "fake hurt"-playing I ever saw.

You're still doing it. I'm honestly uninterested in assigning blame for the direction of this discussion. Please let's just stop.

OK, I'm done with it as well. Like I said, I tried my best to get along.

BTW, is there any possibility in the future of allowing images to be included in comments? It would be quite beneficial in threads like this and some time ago It was impossible to put some diagrams on a SELinux related thread. Without those it's quite difficult to give proper explanations about some of the security models implemented (including MLS).

Keep up the great work with the site.
