Have a look at the comment which Mr. Doroshenko was replying to.

Personally, I couldn't agree more with Yan. It may seem passive-agressive
but I believe English is not Mr. Doroshenko's first language, so I
wouldn't be surprised by the "over-the-top" language.
(your English is very good, by the way, Mr. Doroshenko)

Anselm & Hiltjo, suckless veterens(or at least the ones I see most often
in the suckless threads), kept a cool head & have always refused to engage
divisive rhetoric(name calling, all-caps, appeals to 1940s facism, etc).

The name-calling does make me a little sad("troll", "loser", "Nazi"),
along with the characterizations of people's contributions to this
thread("troll post", "garbage").

I'd like to think that there are feds(the "glow-in-the-dark" variety) or
"competitors" sent to this mailing-list to try to trigger our insecurities
& cause suckless to fragment, but that suckless is already inoculated &
preoccupied with its own inner-self-criticism to be affected by outside
forces.

Moderation in this mailing list is highly disciplined & I'm unironically
impressed. Thank you.

Jeremy
