@sun @mangeurdenuage OK, here's the Official Linux CoC ruling: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/6740fc3aabec0_5eb129497@dwillia2-xfh.jf.intel.com.notmuch/

And they have a point about in the message they link to "Get your head examined. And get the fuck out of here with this shit." but it seems to be an entirely appropriate thing to say, or what back in the days when the Linux project cared about the very difficult task of quality in a mass of C code they frequently didn't understand the behavior of.

The guy he's replying to is non-responsive, which might or might not be legit, but the claims both technical and hammering language seem to be legit, "Michal, if you think crashing processes is an acceptable alternative to error handling you have no business writing kernel code."

And he's being attacked by a notorious pajeet woman SJW in her CoC role, who is not working in good faith

Here this now banned for a full Linux development cycle guy lays out his general, long term problem with two people on the memory management team of Linux: https://lore.kernel.org/all/nu6cezr5ilc6vm65l33hrsz5tyjg5yu6n22tteqvx6fewjxqgq@biklf3aqlook/ And then about how badly this CoC member is handing things, like "a bad HR department."

And unless he's lying through his teeth the MM team was not working in good faith. He also apologized in the email thread.... Thus the pajeet's demands for a public apology are as someone in the thread noted a humiliation ritual, exactly what we've learned to expect from people from the subcontinent.

That said, Overstreet was (and maybe still is?) absolutely refusing to work with Team Linus/Kernel using the necessary technical processes they've developed, he just doesn't respect it one can infer. But this is not the way to address that problem, I wouldn't be surprised if this CoC committee action is also an underhanded effort to push him out of kernel development altogether.

I'll reply in my next posting on how all this mess has revealed the Linux kernel is in DEFCON 2 and I am moving to DEFCON 1 in looking at alternates.
