Great I posted some messages to rust-for-linux, asked the questions I had how test, got some great answers and nobody nuked me!

I even said that by the process I would personally NAK this based on being unable to test the patches and and discussion did not heat up :-)

All I can say that I had a positive experience.

When responding to LKML:

1. Be honest.
2. Address your concerns.
3. Ask for help where you need it.
4. Admit your possible misconceptions (getting things wrong is not a mistake).

@jarkko Also being kind helps. 😃

It avoids putting people on the defensive and helps keep the conversation friendly.

@Conan_Kudo Yeah, being polite is the most irritating counter-measure ;-)

@jarkko Well, you can use politeness nefariously and maliciously. That's why I mentioned being kind specifically.

I've seen politeness used as a weapon on the lists before. 😦

@Conan_Kudo take that with a grain of salt, you can also check my responses :-) agree on that tho... Just plain asking the basics.

@Conan_Kudo There's even term I've coined for what you're describing: "toxic positivity" :-) Totally get where you are coming from with that one trust me.

Also: I feel that my "golden rule" number four covers a lot of malicious use. If you strip and expose yourself always, then such hybrid weaponry is rendered out :-)
