I apologize if my comment came off as snark. Your comment was nothing but pasted text which ommitted relevant detail, so it was not clear what the intent was. In context, to me, it did not seem to be illuminating. It actually seemed to be introducing confusion where there previously was none.

Data races are not possible in safe Rust. Race conditions are. The distinction is made clear in the Nomicon article, but commenters here are really muddying the waters...

Clearly there is still confusion since we don't agree (as does other the aforementioned poster).

I could have also belittled your comment as "bunch of possibly-irrelevant content" since most of the content was and still is unnecessary snark.

But then it would have said more about my own etiquette and capability to debate objectively than about the topic at hand.

Our definition of data race seems to differ, and because you don't seem to be able to separate objective discussion from personal attacks, I'll stop here.

That doesn't really make sense because there are other witnesses, so everybody who knows about this topic can see immediately that you're wrong and the other person is right.
