What is it with people and binary arguments? She isn't asking for LKML to be turned into a politically correct cesspool. Not being an asshole does NOT have to

What is it with people and binary arguments? She isn't asking for LKML to be turned into a politically correct cesspool.
Not being an asshole does NOT have to equal being politically correct. She's advocating clarity WITHOUT verbal abuse. That's SO easy to do: if you filter out the f-bombs that are directed at people as well as the STFU's and you're there.
There is so much in between verbal abuse and killing each other with kindness, it's not even funny. I find it sad that even Torvalds thinks in black and white like that. And then he hides behind "that's just who I am". Whatever. Very mature. I wouldn't even consider becoming a Linux kernel maintainer, much like I would quit my job the day my boss decides to treat his employees this way.
