That does seem like quite an overreaction to a mild suggestion from Linus.

  You're only seeing the tail end of the conversation. The one that started it all seems to be this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/13/132 https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/13/132

    That's interesting but doesn't seem to be what she is responding to. She's overreacting to comments that are tongue in cheek "Linus Torvalds is advocating for physical intimidation and violence." is her response to goofy comments about the physical size of the patch reviewer.

      Well, said goofy comments can be seen as childish attempts to fend off a real discussion.

    I'm sure you could link us to dozens more examples that match this one exactly in every relevant detail. However, this example is completely innocuous. He doesn't say anyone is a piece of shit, rather he identifies a particular piece-of-shit patch as being a piece of shit. Which, if Linus says it, is probably true.
