This comment is very amusing in the context of the article. Shanley Kane uses abusive language, at minimum, two orders of magnitude more often than Linus does.

- dwb 11y agoAbuse requires a power imbalance in favour of the abuser. That was not the case for Shanley's criticism.
- tptacek 11y agoI think I know what you're trying to say, but it probably isn't true that abuse requires a power imbalance, unless "willingness to abuse" is itself a form of power, in which case the word doesn't mean much anymore.
