Well, kind of.
Linus needs to call out bad code, it's an important part of Linux's quality control. He doesn't need to tell people to kill themselves.
Also, humiliating someone in front of the whole LKML list by calling their code garbage isn't constructive. It's the reason why a lot of people take one look at that toxic cesspit and walk the other way.
Especially when people look at him talk like this and then emulate that. Thinking that it's no big deal.
Yea anger issues is no joke
That happened in 2012 and a lot has changed with Linus since then.
