This is out of context, and while Linus is an entertaining and impassioned writer, it really shouldn't be discussed outside of the group who's job it is to read it, albeit on a public list. I guess that Linus generally achieves results from a direct and terse tone, but that may also be the fastest way to get through his vast inbox. It's far from diplomatic bureaucracy and that's going to rub some people, but the parent was probably right on calling him out. I just don't think this is the forum for this kind of gossip, why not leave it to lowest denominator tech journalism?
