Call it whatever you like, I don't suffer fools gladly. In my view, you're like a child that walks into an advanced mathematics course and wants to talk over the professor the entire time because you foolishly think you have something immensely important to say.

My apologies for daring to post in any thread you have chosen to grace with your mighty presence, sire. I should have known my place, at the bottom forever, and kept silent while the adults were talking, never daring to venture comment, since that's how the free software world works.

(btw, professors really do not act like you do.)

I will shut up now, because this is verging on a flame, even if a justified one.

Apologies to Jon for lowering the tone of the discussion on LWN possibly even more than spender already had. I've filtered spender and PaXTeam out on the grounds that though they may occasionally post worthwhile things, most of their comments have me shaking with anger in seconds, so it's probably bad for my health for me to read any more of them. I will not contribute further to lowering the S/N ratio when they appear.

Because driving students away forever shaking with anger is what a good professor does.
