Because people here accuse Poettering of being an asshole: I’ve read some of his blogposts and seen some talks of his and him doing Q&A: He answered professionally, did his best to answer truthfully, did acknowledge when he didn’t know something. No rants, no opining on things he didn’t know about, no taking questions in bad faith.

As far as I can tell all the people declaring him some kind of asshole are full of shit.
