Generally, I'm a nice guy. I just have a *really* low bullshit tolerance. I don't allow ill-thought out notions stand unchallenged if I know better. Linus is no different and if I ever did step up to the plate and full-on maintain a piece of the kernel, I'd expect it out of him- and not be bothered by it.
This stuff with Sarah? It's bullshit, to be blunt. And as someone observed, it was all basically staged. Professional conduct? Define that. In LKML and similar, what Linus is doing is that. In an office, it might be different. If you want that different, perhaps you should contemplate working elsewhere. Linux is where it is precisely because of the kind of conduct that Sarah's "accusing" Linus of. If you're going to work in the space, expect it- and, by God, don't try to "change" it, because you're going to only meet up with tears. It's not a place where you need to "correct" it- and the people WILL break you upon the wheel eventually, or you'll change to meet it as a result.
