Linus Torvalds in sweary rant about punctuation in kernel comments

I don't get it

"He's also happy with this format:

/*

* This is also a comment, but it can now be cleanly

* split over multiple lines

*/

...

(no)

/* This is disgusting drug-induced

* crap, and should die

*/

"

Maybe it's just me, but I've utterly failed to spot any difference between the 2 comments, one being seemingly OK, and the other apparently a criminal offense in Linus' world.

Creepy.
