Let's not get into a flamewar here.

What you previously wrote was:
"This is wroooooooooooong! There is no such thing like iptables or ipchains
kernel modules. Both are just user space programs to work with kernel
rules (netfilter or chains) "

Everyone else besides you will interpret this as: "iptables is completely done
in userspace. Don't even look for the modules."
Instead of writing false information, you should have corrected the post
containing "rmmod iptables" to "rmmod ip_tables".
And the ipchains module has the same name as the userspace program.

Please refrain from such posts in the future.
Thank you.
