We are actually proud here not to act or need to talk like people on
LKML. We generally enjoy to talk like respectful and civilized people,
and want to keep it that way.

In our view, it never had much to do with "culture", but mostly with
missing communications skills or other personal issues which do not
belong into technical discussions -- none of it in the end, is
anything to be proud of.

We do not encourage or reward talking like this here, we just don't
like it. What you primarily accomplish with this, is that you will be
ignored, even if it contains things that should better have been
discussed.

Thanks,
