Do you have any example of him taking it too far? I don't disagree, I'm just curious.

- soundwave106 9y agoI would say, er, this time, partially. On the patches pushed by David, apparently he confused an acronym, and the patch Linus ranted about being garbage may not be so garbage-y. At least, David pushed back on his messages with some of his reasoning, and a kind note to tone down the shouty (http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1801.2/05282.html http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1801.2/05282.html). Linus's rants on the general Intel situation still seem to apply. :) People get angry, it happens (a bit more with Linus than some, it's a personality flaw, but it's not like any of us are perfect). I guess the general thing is more that, for some reason, people are way too overly fascinated with Shouty Linus compared to Linus the general kernel developer. There's a lot of posts on the Linux Kernel list... but the odds of a single post from this list being shared on social media dramatically increases for every Linus swear word included.
