You ever sit down and write an email, pour out your frustrations and
anger in a long, detailed rant? Smoke coming off of your keyboard as
the keys start melting in the fury of the frustration driving your rage?

And then, afterward, re-reading it, realizing that you now felt at peace
with yourself, and such a rant was only for your benefit, the recipient,
while surely knowing better than to have caused the response in the
first place, really didn't deserve the flame in the end? So you then
delete the email before sending it, and then write a simple and concise
response instead, following the "three sentences"[1] rule?

Here's that response:

Read Documentation/development-process/ for how Linux kernel
development works and the merge windows happen.

Please never ask me again.

Ever.
