Now, now. I think you are being unjust on khim.

I don't agree on all (s)he says (actually I tend to disagree more than to agree, especially on this topic), but his/her posts are articulate and polite, and represent a respectable position. Sometimes strongly opinionated, yes, but always preferable to a bland non-opinion.

I find that comments generally come across as being a lot more polite if they don't all feature "Really?" as the very first sentence, optionally misspelt for dramatic effect or preceded by some other exclamation-enhancing padding. I'm sure we all make similar mistakes, but toning down the drama makes it more likely that people might keep reading, potentially increasing the benefit to all concerned.

I hope you never considered any kind of job as a journalist. You could even fail to be a "LWN journalist"
