Reasonable people can disagree on things like formatting, features, or the superiority of one interface/product over another... all fair game. And Linus’ contributions give him an enormous amount of credibility and leeway to have it his way. But when you treat people with such disrespect (ex. By calling them a moron), you lose all credibility and respect in my book. There should be no excuse for treating people with disrespect no matter who you are or what your contributions have been. I’m not surprised given his reputation, but I’m still incredibly disappointed

You sound like a middle manager to me. The people at the bottom or top don't worry about this crap and will call a spade a spade.

You just tried to label someone. You must be an X.

His/her concerns are valid. We should never have to resort to name shaming people as “morons”. That doesn’t make people feel included.

You can be both a competent human being, and an empathetic one.

They're only valid concerns if you're in the part of the chain that needs to be empathetic in the first place. That's the point I'm trying to make. His point of view is not representative of Torvald's, mine or possibly many others.
