I remember 5 years ago when Linus said he would work to show more restraint in swearing out vendors... and it's just hit me how well that worked. He didn't use a single swear word--in English or Finnish--and kept his negative sentiment focused on the implementation, rather than the people who did it, or their intelligence.
I still agree with his sentiment towards Nvidia.
Cool. A person in Linus's position would benefit from a single iota of emotional intelligence. Because his words reach a lot of people who DO NOT agree with him. Like me. I dismiss everything he says because he has the maturity of a petulant child. I don't care how right he might be about something. If a leader cannot make public communications with respect, the content of the message is irrelevant. Calling TPM "stupid" puts his stupidity on display.
Cool story
