Thanks. I may actually read that, because it's clear to me that a lot of things really aggravate me that don't aggravate a lot of other people in the FOSS world

Thanks. I may actually read that, because it's clear to me that a lot of things really aggravate me that don't aggravate a lot of other people in the FOSS world, and if I want to get along, I'd better get over it. (Though that doesn't mean I will condone it or do it myself.)

Now THAT is a sensible attitude! Bravo. Whenever there are large groups of people communicating, someone will find something to be offended at - and as long as it isn't personal or bigoted we need to just ignore it and move on. In this case, Linus' colorful use of language will almost certainly add some amount of weight to his statement.

  Well, what Linus said IS personal, and I'd say it's bigoted, though that's harder to define. But, if you have to put up with it to deal with these people, so be it.

    Personal and bigoted? Really? These words apparently mean different things to us.
