I agree completely with Linus, what he is saying is simple: people are different and they behave in different ways; you cannot force anybody to behave in a way that don't belong to him/her. Then is raising the point: "How we manage a team of different people who need to interact each other ?" It is not "if you don't like get out", it is more something like: "I know why you don't like, you don't like because you are expecting thing that you should not expect, so change your expectation." Then him is using a very powerful language, maybe too powerful for a public mail list, but again is just the way Linus is, so get mad for it simply means to don't have understand a single word of his speech.
