Maybe the lkml is not always so bad, but I'd rather not deal with it and so far I have been content playing with my own projects. I feel kind of silly complaining about it when so many people manage it just fine, but then I see another explosion of aggression and drama and think "how are people okay with this?" I can't imagine having to work in an environment like that.
