And a non-maintainer who builds longstanding animosity and conflict with another non-maintainer and then expects a maintainer to be the arbiter is bringing pain to all involved. It becomes more about sniping and stone-walling than what is good for the code.
I have recent experience dealing with that exact situation. It was _awful_. The Linux community isn't always fine. But just because negative experiences influence peoples' views of the health of the Linux community doesn't mean it is a cesspool.
And FYI, I'm a maintainer. I consider myself qualified to have a voice in this discussion too.
I'm not saying everything is perfect. But I also don't think the Linux kernel community on the precipice of certain gloom and doom like Daniel would have us all believe. Projecting a self-help book's content onto a development community is an exercise in pissing in the wind.. sorry but Daniel's views are the minority for a reason.

Don't attack me for saying this either. I'm taking authority on your motivations etc, just echoing how the tone reads.
