I have never seen Linus bullying anyone and I have been reading LKML for long time. When he is rude there is always intention of changing the actions of people, not some personal picking of people. His behavior is honest and effective way to make people change their behavior. It's also tied to his person. It's not leadership method that can be generalized well.
