Ah, this happened two days ago? Further reading:

Here's the specific response and it's even better than anticipated.

I love this part:
Like after all that he will just block him for a week 🤣 I would block them for a year minimum or forever...
I was just about to quote that same bit. We gotta report a murder.
His response to Linus was interesting to read.
Oh and especially this comment further down in the conversation...
Sheesh. Seeing just how long he goes on tantruming is kinda surprising 😳 seems like the guy was just trying to contribute... ya don't have you shit in mouth, right? Jesus
Thank you for validating my feelings here. I don’t know why we idolize this kind of behavior, but berating someone on a mailing list should not be acceptable, much less desirable.
For sure! Like I think criticism should be welcomed from a constructive standpoint, but there were some outright personal attacks in there! After reading the wiki page for Linus a coupla days ago my perspective is starting to shift a bit towards him 😅 woof
I live by the “there are no heroes” philosophy myself. You can like some of what a person does while admitting that they are still flawed like the rest of us.
Way too much of the tech industry culture is rooted in idol worship.
Oh that's fun.
