I think it was comments like "The fact that I have higher standards then makes people like you make
snarky comments, thinking that you are cool.
You're a moron." that people thought impolite. The comment he responded to appears to have been deleted, however, so I can make no judgement about how appropriate that was. I'd like to think it was completely appropriate -- I do agree with you overall that his other comments were reasonably polite.
- saurik 14y agoI don't remember the exact wording of the comment that was deleted, but I did see it and I remember it making me feel very angry, despite that I wasn't even involved in the discussion. My personal belief is that Linus' response was quite classy in comparison, especially given that others in the conversation weren't stepping up to take issue with the comment.
- chris_wot 14y agoHe was responding to someone who told him his "shit don't stink". Sort of understandable! I note that GitHub actually did a blog entry sometime ago about good commit practice, and it seems to be the same as what Torvald's requires. Not sure I'm understanding what th issue is... https://github.com/blog/926-shiny-new-commit-styles https://github.com/blog/926-shiny-new-commit-styles
