Now that is an interesting challenge.

As I realize more and more we are all feeling beings.

Linus himself according to his own words as I received them wants to make
perfectly sure that the developer who receives a message from him exactly
knows how he feels, especially when he disagrees with a pull request and
does not want to take it.

To my perception the whole kernel development process is quite full of
emotion, including your message I reply to.

And now you want to get rid of it.

I bet you can.

If you remove Linus… and every other kernel developer from the development
process, including yourself.

But then, who will develop the kernel?

I think a different way to handle emotions can help and I intend handle them
this way to see what results I create this way. I am aiming to feel my
feelings as they are, instead of immediately judging them or attaching a
thought to them basically making them emotions and distorting them that way,
blocking my energy in them [1].

So I will attempt to feel my feelings before I answer again. I didn´t do so
in the last answer to you, and I think it shows.
