Hard disagree. This letter is what happens when direct communications have failed.

Realistically, somebody near Linus probably told him to chill out and that he's damaging his own reputation and his project's by sending out this temper tantrum bullshit. In no world would the target of this letter be the person who successfully sits him down and lectures him on not being an asshole.

But honestly if he had a habit of sending out this kind of stuff it would be a liability/legal problem.

letter? latter? Linus? what are you even on about. I was speaking generally about such a situation, not this incident in particular.
