Kent, if you genuinely don't understand by now what it is that you do that pisses people off, find someone you trust and get them to explain it to you. I've tried. Other people have tried. You react by dismissing and insulting us, then pretending months later that you've done nothing wrong. Now you've pissed off Linus and he has ultimate power to decide to accept your pull requests or not ... and he's decided not to. You had a lot of chances to fix your behaviour before it got to this point. It's sad that you chose not to take any of them. Can you really not see the difference between, eg Palmer's response here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/mhng-655602B8-F102-4B0F-AF4A-4AB94A9F231F@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ and your response whenever Linus dares to critique even the smallest parts of your pull requests?
