It's probably very safe to say you just lost any respect you had on this
list by using a Hitler analogy. The analogy wasn't even relevant to boot.
Hitler didn't create vegetarianism. Hans Reiser created the ReiserFS.
Apples to oranges comparison.
Should I instead have written "Association fallacy"?

Hans Reiser is a Bad Man, ergo any code that Hans Reiser writes is Bad?
That's so illogical, it makes ma think you're a Republicrat.
And when your machine crashes with unflushed data still in cache, splat
goes your xfs partition. Been there, seen that.
If this is your only argument against XFS, you may as well not even make it.
It merely makes you look a fool.
