Ah yes, classic Torvalds. He's one of the old guard from back in the days of "if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand", back when neckbeards took out their years of being tormented by the jocks in school on anyone new who dares to set foot in their digital playground.

I'd never work with Torvalds. I dislike bullies.

Isn't Torvalds doing just the contrary in this case? He advocates for easy to read and understand comments

> I dislike bullies

Torvalds doesn't display any bully-like behaviour here. One has to be careful when labelling.
