Linus "I am not a nice person, deal with it" Torvalds is upset because someone else is a ranty meany about him? Heaven forbid!
- strcat 11y agoBrad doesn't throw personal attacks and insults around like Linus anyway. Plain spoken criticism of actions and ideas is not a personal attack. He tends to strongly disagree with the upstream kernel developers on issues related to security and what pisses them off is that his criticism is fair and accurate. They should be embarrassed about the state of security (and stability...) in vanilla, and they get offended when it's pointed out.
