If you don't like working with Linus, the answer is simple: Fork his repository and work without him. He encourages you to do this. He publicly states that people give his fork of the Linux kernel far too much authority, and he even designed a version control system to make it extremely easy for anyone to fork his work. However, contributing to Linus's git repository is not the same as working for an "equal opportunity employer." I think it's unfortunate that, being a dad, and with all that he's given to the world, he doesn't show a little more kindness and empathy. I think this would benefit everyone. Maybe the linux community could just try being super extra nice to Linus, and see if it wears off on him? Every time he says something mean, we try even harder to respond with polite and kind language. I'd like to see that.
