Good post until the Linus reference without any context.
- yebyen 13y agoHeh... I laughed. I got the context. I suspect you did too. As a matter of fact as soon as I saw "SHUT THE FUCK UP" I knew that when I moused over[1], I was going to be looking at a link to the LKML. Ed: [1] And I haven't ever read the original thread.
- rubiquity 13y agoYou probably should read the original thread. People like you are exactly why the reference is out of context, you don't understand how egregious the mistake the person who Linus is replying to made.
- yebyen 13y agoYou are mistaken. I have read and replied to people like the people you accuse me of being, and defended the right and necessity of the newsgroup flame. Some people fuck up just that bad. You can't even sugar coat it. It's people like you who... Just kidding!
- brandonb 13y agoDo you think it's bad because you disagree with the point of the Linus reference, or because you didn't understand it without context?
- rubiquity 13y agoI disagree with the Linus reference being brought up without the surrounding details. It's too easy to just point out someone who is using foul language.
- phpnode 13y agoYou imply that Linus was overdoing it, he wasn't. Mauro wasn't asking for feedback, he acted in a way that resulted in strong negative feedback, that's why it's not really relevant to the rest of your post.
