Bottomley: Respect and the Linux Kernel Mailing Lists

SCSI subsystem maintainer James Bottomley has posted a different view on the issue of civility on the kernel's mailing lists. "So, by and large, I’m proud of the achievements we’ve made in civility and the way we have improved over the years. Are we perfect? by no means (but then perfection in such a large community isn’t a realistic goal). However, we have passed our stress test: that an individual with bad patches to several mailing lists was met with courtesy and helpful advice, in spite of serially repeating the behaviour."
