As I said, he showed restraint.


It’s sad times when “showing restraint” means insulting an entire community because one person asked a stupid question first.


He probably should have worded it better but the comment does not refer to the entire community. Unfortunately there absolutely is a collection of anti-systemd trolls within the community that have been egging him on for quite some time now and will gladly dog-pile on these github issues with insults and conspiracy theories. I honestly did not even know who he was before I saw lots of this type of toxic and hateful post being directed at him on reddit.
