You're just making stuff up here, the OP was sent abuse firstly by pottering and handled the situation quite professionally by providing a detailed overview of the issue he posted and responding to the maintainers deflections with further information. The OP sent no death threats and posted about his perspectives and technical data on what he sees as a medium risk issue in systemd's pty handling. Why not chown the pty as he suggests, reduce the risk and thank him for giving his time freely on this matter? Conflating the behavior of others against Pottering as somehow someone discussing systemd publicly being responsible is classic DARVO actions. The OP was attacked by pottering, not the other way around.

Matthew was shitting on systemd and pulling no shots. Poettering calling Matthew a scriptkiddie is mild.

He did call me a "facist weenie" with no clear reason why beyond me pushing back on their grand claims.
