lets think about how we can make a working system
Funny quotes from canada

Michal, if you think crashing processes is an acceptable alternative to
error handling _you have no business writing kernel code_.
You have been stridently arguing for one bad idea after another, and
it's an insult to those of us who do give a shit about writing reliable
software.
You're arguing against basic precepts of kernel programming.
Get your head examined. And get the fuck out of here with this shit.

FYI, without taking any stance on the issue under debate here, I find the
language used by Shuah on behalf of the Code of Conduct committee
extremely patronising and passive aggressive. This might be because I
do not have an American academic class background, but I would suggest
that the code of conduct committee should educate itself about
communicating without projecting this implicit cultural and class bias
so blatantly.
example of "A large number of people agreeing on anything does not automatically make
it right." when Tso said that most agree with COC enforcement approach
I'd suggest to avoid any kind of power-play like "we are more than you" in here.
I gave up long ago in the block layer after
the two people in charge there had repeatedly introduced silent data
corruption bugs into core block layer code that I'd written, without
CCing me, which I then had to debug, which they then ignored or put up
ridiculous fights over when reported, and now have turned petty on
subsequent block layer patches.
Also, let's rehash a bit:
much not one sided this was
just broken record "we need you to do to this", so...
This is no longer a process I can take seriously. Linus will pull my
code, or he won't; it's out of my hands...
Night all.
The Code of Conduct Committee works with the individual to bring about change in their understanding of the importance to repair the damage caused by their behavior to the injured party and the long term negative impact on the community.
The goal is to reach a resolution which is agreeable to all parties. If working with the individual fails to bring about the desired outcome, the Code of Conduct Committee will evaluate other measures such as seeking public apology to repair the damage.
The Code of Conduct Committee publicly calls out the behavior in the setting in which the violation has taken place, seeking public apology for the violation.
A public apology for the violation is the first step towards rebuilding the trust. Trust is essential for the continued success and health of the community which operates on trust and respect.
