How would you act in Linus' place?
Yes, he often sends harsh mails - but after that he also sends nice helpfull mails in which he explains how to do it better.
He has to manage a very big project. A lot of stuff has been explained a lot of times. People like David A. or Dave J. should know better than to send big patches at rc4. Harsh mails are normal.
If you really want to read a bashing, look for Al Viro.
