But repeating stereotypes and anecdotal "evidence" about this or that group of people doesn't help us at all.Quite. How dare Paul use self-deprecating humour on a mailing list! It should be forbidden in case it offends people too thick to recognise it as humour. (Thanks, but no thanks. Humour is a balm, not a menace. And we do often have an evil gleam in our eyes when discussing optimizations, so it wasn't even untrue.)

Besides which, they tell me that I have had an evil gleam in my eyes a time or two as well. ;-)

ACCESS_ONCE() Posted Aug 3, 2012 4:53 UTC (Fri) by PaulMcKenney (subscriber, #9624) [Link] And if the gleam was evil around tree RCU time, it must have been positively satanic around the time of the first mainlined preemptible RCU...

I wasn't sure whether to thank the Prince of Darkness or controlled substances for that one. I'm glad to see it was the former: cavalier use of controlled substances is, of course, illegal.
