What's this /run directory doing on my system and where does it come from?

Thanks for implying we were addicted to crack. It really underlines your
arguments.

Uh? What are you implying here? 

Note that I myself was actually leaning towards a different solution for
a long time, just so I don't have to deal with negative people like
you. But other folks were championing for /run (especially from Debian),
and they convinced me and the others with stakes in this, and so we
implemented this. This is how these things usually work: everybody can
make suggestions, and the best one which convinced the key people who
can implement something like this wins in the end. In this case the idea
was not mine. So really no need to imply my humble ideas were in any way
special here or had more weight than anybody else's, since well, this
one wasn't even mine.

Wow, crack addicted rapists.
