I'm obviously communicating my argument poorly then.
Shorter version of my argument: "How dare you tell other people's parents to change the way they treat them - publicly in an interview?" Some parents might discipline their children more harshly than others. If I went to tell the press about how a parent gave their child a smack for doing something stupid, I'd say that would be very rude to that parent. Linus isn't killing anybody here - he's shouting at people who fucked up, and telling his staff to be more rude in sending away bad patches.
If she went to the press or the press came to her feels very irrelevant. She chose to answer in an interview she knew would be very public - she started this on a very public mailing list.
- parasubvert 13y agoI would agree if this were a company project, or private organization, but its not, its a public dispute on a public project with a vast audience, and a press hungry for political drama-fueled clicks. I don't think she said anything in this interview that was disrespectful to Linus, or anything other than color commentary. It's sort of like the press conference after a sports game where a player disagreed with the ref during the game and it was picked up on mic, and the press asked her about it after. Her crime is that she took a stand against an authority figure. She might be wrong in the end, and talking to the press CAN be risky, but this specific incident doesn't seem to be all that bad.
