It is absolutely none of these things, you admitted yourself you thought the
review was stupid and you used an LLM to adhere to it, clearly with bad faith
itnent.

You have had 3 or 4 VERY BUSY maintainers take time to review your series and
you have behaved appallingly in response since.

I and others have been ENORMOUSLY patient in view of your awful behaviour, which
you are continuing, and apparently escalating.

So at this stage I'm not really interested in seeing any further iterations of
this series from you for the parts of mm I maintain.

I suggest you find another part of the kernel to work upon.

Your behaviour there was appalling and clearly a personal attack. It didn't
warrant a response. I was trying to be patient with you and to see if we could
move past that and have a viable series.

You are very clearly in bad faith and looking for a fight - this is not
professional and this is not the place for it.

I have now spent my morning dealing wtih this and I'm done thanks.
