Advanced users • Re: Is everyone happy with the quality of libgpiod?

Yes - - - I agree that it's easy to slag people off on the Internet, but I can't agree that it's more pernicious here. I'll base this claim on a recent post made on the libgpiod mailing list... the names are withheld to avoid embarrassment:

Firstly, I'll happily admit to writing that last section. But lets take a closer look, shall we....

You pulled that out of context and conveniently drop the trailing emoji, so you didn't even get the whole line. That could be considered pretty disingenuous and bad faith right there, no? The full quote is:
That is your view, and I don't care about your feelings ;-).
My point there being that we should be looking at facts, not feelings.

I've had several threads with that user and for the most part I think they have been productive. I could go pulling quotes to demonstrate that, but best to let the threads speak for themselves.
Ah - so sorry for mis-quoting ;-)
But as far as letting the threads speak for themselves - yes, that is best.
