Page sanitization, part 2Page sanitization, part 2Posted Jun 5, 2009 9:18 UTC (Fri) by willezurmacht (guest, #58372)In reply to: Page sanitization, part 2 by jake Parent article: Page sanitization, part 2
I was merely pointing out that your intention in this article is either not completely clear, or clearly not impartial. And none of both will help the kernel become more secure, you are just adding more to the 'political/social issues'.
If you want to stir the dirty water in the cesspool, go ahead and do it, but don't put people's names on it which might be something borderline questionable, in both ethical and legal terms. That's your call, though.
Regarding difficulty, I'm not sure what you mean. But if there's anything you don't understand about something, it's best to simply avoid publishing an article about it until you've documented yourself properly. Don't you think that's the mature and ethical thing to do?

huh? i don't follow this at all, sorry ... quoting people from their posts to linux-kernel is what we do around here ...
if you think that only technical considerations are part of the kernel development process, you are fooling yourself ... perhaps i concentrated too much on the 'social/political' part of things, for me, it was a difficult balance to strike.
i sense that you are one of the participants and feel i somehow misrepresented you? if so, apologies for that as well ... but I don't see any 'ethical' (or 'maturity' for that matter) breach.

Fair enough.
You don't need extrasensory perception for this, you can simply check the associated email address with this account if you haven't done so already.
Not us who are trying to conceal the facts, but you've already proved what you intended with this article and have been unsuccessful at it ;) Congratulations, gentleman!
Let me close it with a citation:
