I've met Linus Torvalds
I've met Linus Torvalds. He's a nice guy.
The real issue here is that everyone is way to fragile anymore. People can't handle criticism. Obviously ya'll weren't spanked as a child... poor things... all those raw feelings and confusing emotions. Really, you need your asses kicked.
You're blaming Linus for being passionate about something HE CREATED. He doesn't put up with stupidity. Especially when it comes to his life-long project. How many of you have sworn at someone cutting you off in traffic? Did you get upset? Yeah, I thought so. Well the same rule applies here. Linus cares about his life's work. He cares about what he does and doesn't want stupidity added to his project.
If you think for one second, you wouldn't get mad at someone kicking your sand castle down, you're a LIAR. Oh, and if anyone has a problem with this comment, you can kiss my ass.
