Being away from others is symmetric, but the (feeling of) responsibility for it is not.

Das Bundesamt [für Verfassungsschutz] verfügt heute über 3500 Mitarbeiter und einen Etat von 349 Millionen Euro. Dem Bundesverfassungsgericht, dessen Arbeit immer wieder auch darin besteht, die Fehler des Verfassungsschutzes zu korrigieren, stehen knapp 31 Millionen Euro zur Verfügung; ausgestattet ist es mit 16 Richtern und 64 wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeitern. Die sozialverträgliche Abwicklung der Kölner Behörde würde Mittel für zehn Bundesverfassungsgerichte freisetzen. Vom Rest könnte man bei Guido Knopp einen Mehrteiler in Auftrag geben: "Der Schlapphut. Erinnerungen an ein vordemokratisches Zeitalter". Brisanten Stoff dafür bietet die Geschichte des Verfassungsschutzes mehr als genug.

It’s funny because I’m not a particularly nervous kind of person, hell, I like going as fast as I can on a brakeless track bike, but strapping your own child to your bike does funny things to a person.

This is my reality. I am not an emotionally empathetic kind of person and that probably doesn't come as a big surprise to anybody. Least of all me. The fact that I then misread people and don't realize (for years) how badly I've judged a situation and contributed to an unprofessional environment is not good.
This week people in our community confronted me about my lifetime of not understanding emotions. My flippant attacks in emails have been both unprofessional and uncalled for. Especially at times when I made it personal. In my quest for a better patch, this made sense to me. I know now this was not OK and I am truly sorry.
The above is basically a long-winded way to get to the somewhat painful personal admission that hey, I need to change some of my behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development entirely.
