On the sickness of our community

Jon, I'm sure you didn't intend this, but I also came away from the article feeling like it was trying to circle the wagons. You bring a number of examples of problematic behavior from outside the kernel community but no examples from within. You even say that it would (probably) be a mistake to assume the attacks could even originate from within.

I can't say I agree with that.

Maybe now is not the time but I hope at some point you'll give more coverage to the more negative side of the LKML discussion. Rather than acknowledging that we could do better (obvious and always true), it would be nice to hear patterns of what's wrong, and what could be done to make them better.

We're not all saints here.
