If you think it is acceptable to lash out at someone you're mean and if you can't find ways to communicate clearly without lashing out you're a bad communicator.
Linux/open source has a massive problem with finding maintainers and contributors for critical projects and a significant contributor is just how awful the communication culture of programmers is.
Nope, actually I'm fairly calm. I only lash out when others do it at me first, but I own up (not lash out) if I was to blame. And the guy did own up, and that's great IMO, he admitted he was wrong. Bravo ๐.
Kernel devs are like mini-gods, so I can understand them being with their nose up in the clouds a bit... and they completely deserve that, they're the driving force behind what we use every day, for free I might add. But, since Linus started the whole thing, it's his show, he's running it. If he doesn't like what's being done, and especially if it's bullshit code, yes, I completely understand him lashing out... I might not do it that way, but I feel that there is nothing wrong with that either.
