Yes, this. |

Some historical correctnesses about Canek: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- He has been here for years |
| 24 |
- He has contributed here for years |
| 25 |
- He supports systemd and has offered more help and explanation about |
| 26 |
systemd to it's users on this list than any other single person, bar none |
| 27 |
- He has never, not once, slagged off SysV Init, OpenRC or any other |
| 28 |
init system, ot the creators or the users |
| 29 |
- He has never posted rude or inflamatory comments about anyone arguing |
| 30 |
against him |
| 31 |
- He has never resorted to ad-hominem and never posted any knee jerk |
| 32 |
opinions about any other poster wrt their stance on init systems |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If we look at the reverse we see a very different picture, and it's |
| 35 |
right here in this very thread. To the poster who rudely commented about |
| 36 |
Canek being a professor and that doesn't make him right and that he is |
| 37 |
one voice, step back pal and take a very long hard look at what you |
| 38 |
said. Yes, it doesn't make him right. Also doesn't make him wrong. His |
| 39 |
posts and the content are what make him right or wrong. There truly are |
| 40 |
fan bois on this list, but Canek is not one of them. It's the |
| 41 |
systemd-haters and Poeterring-haters who are being fan bois, painting |
| 42 |
all detractors with the same brush. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Frankly, I'm amazed Canek is still here considering the amount of abuse |
| 45 |
he takes from this list. He must have thick skin or maybe dealing with |
| 46 |
detractors is a crucial part of academic training. I myself would have |
| 47 |
rage quitted a long time ago but he is still here. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
A good healthy dose of manners like your Mama taught you is in short |
| 50 |
supply around here right now. |
