> I think most people agree that such an ancient kernel is awful and can understand the comical take of that title.

I did not find it comical at all, and I thought you were a jerk. And I have read many messages from you in different places (HN, the /e/ forums, git repos, etc), and every single time, I think you are a jerk.

Also my post above has a score of +17 (honestly I never get that many upvotes here), so I wouldn't think that most people think your PR was comical.

You can choose to ignore this and keep believing that most people find you funny, or you can try to reflect on it and possibly improve your communication skills.

I don't really care, to be honest. I just wouldn't want to work with you given how you communicate online.

I never claimed to be funny, but I think how you seek me out each time to call me names is.

    You literally used the word "comical" in the previous post. English is not my language, but if I search for a definition, I get: "comical: arousing or provoking laughter".

    I agree, it is actually funny, because I don't look for you. As I said, I don't want to be related to DivestOS because you seem toxic. I don't even know or recognize your usernames on the different forums, but somehow I seem to recognize your style ("That person is a bit of a jerk - wait, is it the DivestOS author, again?").

    Also I wouldn't say I "seek you out each time to call you names", it's the second time in quite a while (unless there was a third and I had not even realized it was you again?).

      One can make an attempt at humour without the whole audience necessarily finding it funny. I was not confused by SubzeroCarnage's wording at all.

      You call them out for lacking communication skills and being offensive, but if anything you're the one with lacking English comprehenshion, lashing out because of a misunderstanding on your part.
