IMO Paul was right to come out full guns blazing on this one. After all
the effort that has gone into making Linux the most stable audio platform
over the years it is very dubious behaviour for this person to come out of
the blue with a direct challenge to the platform without even having the
courtesy to discuss it first in the LAD list.


You misunderstood my comment.  I have absolutely no issue with how Paul responded, and he and I talked about it a little on #ardour even but honestly I agree with him in pretty much every regard and trust that he knows more about it and can comment on it far more throughly than I ever could.

My issue, was with the exact comment that was quoted by Oon-Ee, which was little more than trolling, and Oon-Ee was correct in his assesment in my opinion.  However I just wanted to clarify where the comment Oon-Ee qutoed came from, which was from the Phoronix thread, not from any mailing list thread so it was obviously confusing what was trying to be said as some people thought it was directed to them when it wasn't.

The rest of your post has been pretty well addressed by others I believe so I will leave that alone:)
