  Whoa, that's actually pretty classy. I myself could never maintain that level of cool in the face of an all caps yellfest. No matter how right or wrong either party is, it takes some serious levelheadedness to respond like that.

    One of the first rule of written communication for me: never send an email when angry. You can write it as a sort of catharsis but then just delete it and wait a few minutes/hours/days to cool down. You will realize what is important. And for the guy being yelled at here, it was being the maintainer of one of the coolest project on earth. Just to be clear this is not a justification of Linus' behavior. I just believe that responding to inappropriate behavior with inappropriate behavior is a lose/lose proposition.

      > One of the first rule of written communication for me: never send an email when angry. Wise words! This is my philosophy as well (having learnt it the hard way).

    Mauro is really nice. I worked briefly with him when I contributed a patch for the ZBar barcode reader. It was the best experience I had contributing to free and open source software. I'm really thankful for his work. https://github.com/mchehab/zbar/pull/64 https://github.com/mchehab/zbar/pull/64
