Huh? The whole point is that he is not suppressing the urges. When he feels frustrated, he might add a "fuck" or "shit" to convey that feeling.
You, on the other hand, did not agree to something, felt mad or frustrated, and instead of conveying that frustration you snidely suggested that that he must be suppressing some "natural urges". Violent? Homosexual? From whose subconscious did those arise from? Not Linuses?
(See what I did there? What kind of urges might _I_ be suppressing?)
All in all: I find your reply to be a perfect example of what Linus is trying to avoid ("fake politeness, the lying, the office politics and backstabbing, _the passive aggressiveness_, and the buzzwords")

I am just trying to analyze and understand his behavior. There's no emotion involved at all.

- lazyjones 13y ago> So one can not curse out of anger or frustration without there being suppressed urges? If the "cursing" involves typing things on a keyboard, then yes, I believe there are some things (urges, actions) being suppressed.
- vacri 13y agoFreud's own work is considered heavily out of date, even by Freudian psychologists. Appealing to his image doesn't really lend weight to your argument.
- jeltz 13y agoFreudian analysis in debate is something I find incredibly rude, one of the rudest things you can do to a person. I realize you might not have meant that way, which is why I generally do not call people out on it. But in this discussion rudeness seemed like a relevant thing to think about. By the way most of the theories of Freud have since long been discredited by the scientific community.
