Someone could use a chill pill.

But in all seriousness, this point does stand valid in my opinion.

Various facets of society react and communicate differently. For example, death threats are just a part of the job for game developers (insane, yes - but a regular thing). If you can’t stomach it, then get out for your own sake. No need to burden yourself with someone else’s inability to process their own emotional response in a mature way.

Linus is notorious for his responses in the past being on par with the death threats video gamers throw at their game devs.

Personally life is too short to burden yourself with someone like that.
