Yet another victim of the pc culture.
- umvi 8y agoCome on, I hate PC bullying myself but I think this case is a little different. Linus has historically been very blunt and just outright mean to people that have made mistakes. Since he is the leader, everyone else thinks it's acceptable and tolerable. He recognizes a lack of empathy and is trying to fix it. This isn't really comparable to the recent Redis development, for example, where the developer had no history of abuse but was attacked anyway for not jumping at the suggestion to "correct" terminology that has just very recently fallen out of fashion.
