What if I told you that you can have constructive discussions without being verbally abusive?
I would verbally abuse you
What if I told you to shut the fu... oh... Oh.. okay...yeah, that wasn't constructive...
Okay, I see your point.
I would tell you that you haven't worked with enough people. I don't disagree but occasionally you find people that need a really really good reminder that they not only suck but you've tried to be nice multiple times and it didn't penetrate.
I agree that some people need harder tones, but I don't think anyone needs the abusive language that Linus used. If that feels like the only option, I think it probably means the person has gaps in their social toolbox.
And also if you are a manager and one of the team members perform poorly and you cannot help the person improve, you should rather let that person go before you get to a state, in which you write such mails.
