Right, I should take exemplary lessons of politeness and politics from Greg and Linus.

Where did I imply that you should pattern yourself after someone else? I'm working from your own complaints and behaviour. You're projecting again.

A nicely ironic reply, though - if you do actually have problems with the way they behave, why invoke their behaviour to defend your own?

Well speaking of projections, I am not pointing to the lack of politeness, nor politics, as the problem in itself here.

I remarked on his snarkyness simply because it indicative of the problem: there has been a long history of dismissiveness during any discussion of upstreaming PaX/grsec-style mitigations. So considering it is not being taken seriously we will continue to enjoy the side-effects for the foreseeable future.

Well, I wouldn't take them off whoever posts under the PAXTeam account to LWN.
