If I tell you my political affiliation, will you stop with this bloody stupid attempt of argumentum ad hominem?
I'm mostly Trotskyist, but influenced by Bakunin style anarchism and a few things of the Fabian Society. I don't usually discuss politics through this account but you can see signs that I'm Marxist here, and signs that I'm socially progressive here.
The issue being discussed is completely orthogonal to politics.
Finally some actual argument. I hereby retract the point concerning infantilisation, then.
The point about screaming ("think on the feelings!") still applies however. He's dealing with adults, not children. You're expected to
(You're also expected to not be assumptive as a brick, but... eh.)
You know what's expected when working with software? Working with software. Stopping the development to spoonfeed others is at most secondary.
And even then, Torvalds went out of his way to instruct the muppet in question on what he did wrong. (You probably didn't bother checking the context of the utterance, right? Go figure.) And that "AGAIN" shows that he did it multiple times, and the other guy was not correcting his mistake.
"This is wrong cuz I said so, chrust me" is not an argument.
Refer to what I said at the start.
Anecdotal evidence, "chrust me" style. Plus outright distorting what I said, thus straw man. *rolls eyes*
At this rate it's somewhat clear that you are really eager to be at least disingenuous, if not worse (irrational). Since there's another poster trying to back up similar reasoning as yours, minus the blatant idiocy, I'll simply disregard your further "contributions".
~~"Thank you for your contribution! Sadly, it was rejected. But don't feel discouraged, try it again!"~~ Your comment is garbage and you are not contributing jack shit with this discussion.
