Linus needs to make no corrections to his behaviour. His apology was needless.

He only flames those who make dumb mistakes, should know better, keep doing it, and don't respect the gravity of the situation. Linux is used on MARS. Pretend to care.

There is a pattern to the people who get upset when they've earned a rebuke from Linus. Those people could get over themselves.

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.

That happened in 2012 and a lot has changed with Linus since then.
