Yes, this.

Some historical correctnesses about Canek:

- He has been here for years
- He has contributed here for years
- He supports systemd and has offered more help and explanation about
systemd to it's users on this list than any other single person, bar none
- He has never, not once, slagged off SysV Init, OpenRC or any other
init system, ot the creators or the users
- He has never posted rude or inflamatory comments about anyone arguing
against him
- He has never resorted to ad-hominem and never posted any knee jerk
opinions about any other poster wrt their stance on init systems

If we look at the reverse we see a very different picture, and it's
right here in this very thread. To the poster who rudely commented about
Canek being a professor and that doesn't make him right and that he is
one voice, step back pal and take a very long hard look at what you
said. Yes, it doesn't make him right. Also doesn't make him wrong. His
posts and the content are what make him right or wrong. There truly are
fan bois on this list, but Canek is not one of them. It's the
systemd-haters and Poeterring-haters who are being fan bois, painting
all detractors with the same brush.

Frankly, I'm amazed Canek is still here considering the amount of abuse
he takes from this list. He must have thick skin or maybe dealing with
detractors is a crucial part of academic training. I myself would have
rage quitted a long time ago but he is still here.

A good healthy dose of manners like your Mama taught you is in short
supply around here right now.
