And this kind of stuff is entirely uncalled for. Do not post comments like this on LWN.

Surely it's more effective to just delete that sort of comment - the poster clearly isn't going to listen to reasoned objections and others shouldn't have to read it.

I thought about it hard, but we really try to make a point of not deleting comments and, thus, not censoring the discussion. It's almost always not necessary. If this particular user (a new account) offends again, stronger action will certainly be taken.

I think you're missing a "not" in that sentence.

Sigh. Bad things happen when you try to work through a nasty flu. Of course, such bad things happen to me even when I'm healthy.

In this case I've exercised my awesome superpowers to add the missing "not"; hope people don't think that's notty.
