Netgpu and the hazards of proprietary kernel modules

What is puzzling to me is the idea that being rude contributes anything to the cause of maintaining a sound architecture.

As far as I can see, if you have to say "no" doing so politely has no downside, whereas behaving like this clearly has some.

Some people don't "get it" unless you at least try to appear rude. It's possible to waste a lot of time by not properly telling people off.

In my experience being clear is always enough here, being rude is not needed.
