His well over 6,000 word perspective.

And I think that's one of the reasons Kent got the pointy, if maladroit, end of the CoC's attention. Every time he wants to break/rearchitect an internal API, or every time he makes a submission that flagrantly goes against kernel convention, you have to navigate a dozen walls of text where Kent vents and re-re-relitigates every transgression he's endured, every minute detail of his thought process as to why he needs to break the rules because his case is special, his list of ailments and anxieties that all the pushback is causing him, etc, etc, etc. His language is frequently escalatory and he seems unable to contemplate alternatives until at the brink of someone's (frequently Linus') patience and threats of bans or having bcachefs yanked from the kernel. It's brinksmanship and he overstepped.

In short, he is the "that guy" on the list.
