Linus is not an asshole and no one thinks assholes are 'cool'. This comes across as a distorted framing of the issue to fit a preconceived bias.
There are millions of lkml posts that don't get posted here, only the ones where Linus has to tick someone off or express a disagreement, usually posted with zero context or history.
If your impression of Linus is based solely on posts that make it to HN you have a lot of catching up to do.
- odammit 9y agoSimply stated that every HN post about him seems praise worthy of an assholey comment.

- odammit 9y agoAlso plenty of people think assholes are cool, otherwise Dan Bilzerian would be a janitor.
- throw2016 9y agoObviously assholes would find other assholes 'cool'. It's self defining.
