In the first example I think that being rude is the way Linus shows his love; joking aside as a developer for kernel you should be aware of the implications of an apparently small bug; and if you don't like Linus,ok, don't work with him.

Regarding the second example... my personal opinion is that people overreacted. I appreciate comments about my code, but when the person that makes them explains what I've done wrong, or how it could be improved but if they just say that my code sucks and no arguments... ignore them.
