I'm not defending Christoph, I'm trying to help YOU understand why
your patchsets always turn sour. And I'm trying to get this toxicity off
the list, because it's frankly not productive at all and it's hurting
the developer environment for everybody else.

If everybody else seems like an asshole, maybe it's actually you? A
little introspection would be prudent. If you can't change your tone,
please just go somewhere else. I'm not interested.
