Except you have no authority to call that out, and we're not forced by law to agree with you.
In my opinion Linus was never abusive or disrespectful - just blunt and direct.
Unfortunately, there seems to exist people (like me) that would prefer such individuals instead of nice empty words just in case someone gets offended.
- dafelst 2y agoAre you serious? Linus has a long history of being abusive, it is no secret. He has gotten better for sure in recent years, but especially in the earlier days he would fairly regularly insult people, tell them to kill themselves because it would make the world a better place, and more.

- artyom 2y agoI agree, engaging in further conversation would be futile.
- hulitu 2y ago> In my opinion Linus was never abusive or disrespectful - just blunt and direct. The way he spoke with Alan Cox was "not apropiate".
- alexey-salmin 2y agoNot appropriate for what exactly?
- wiseowise 2y agoSeriously? I’m a huge fan of Linus, but you have to be delusional to not find his rants abusive or disrespectful.
- artyom 2y agoSeriously. And I say this because apparently every comment on this thread has to be on either side, with no actions being considered counterbalance whatsoever. So given that I have to pick a side, yep, seriously.
- account42 2y agoNot as disrespectful as calling those who don't agree with you "delusional".
- wiseowise 2y agoOf course not. https://github.com/corollari/linusrants https://github.com/corollari/linusrants
