Sounds like they're just trying to push a political agenda with this.
>I personally don't care if emails are peppered with a little cussing.
You can see I've included some words like "fuck" in my emails too.
However, I object to how the cursing is directed.
Oh come on, stop being so pedantic.
>I do, however, object when the verbal abuse shifts from being directed at code to being directed at people. For example, Linus chose to curse at Mauro [2] and Rafael [3], rather than their code:
No one is bothering her so she has to look to the bottom of the barrel to have an excuse to push her agenda.
Then she takes a whole bunch of comments out of context, most of which aren't personal attacks, but attacks on code, which she said was okay just a few sentences earlier:
>"How long have you been a maintainer? And you still haven't learnt the
first rule of kernel maintenance?"
>"Shut up, Mauro. And I don't _ever_ want to hear that kind of obvious
garbage and idiocy from a kernel maintainer again. Seriously."
>"The fact that you then try to make excuses for breaking user space,
and blaming some external program that used to work, is just
shameful. It's not how we work."
>"Fix your fcking "compliance tool", because it is obviously broken.
And fix your approach to kernel programming."
>"Seriously. Why do I even have to mention this? Why do I have to
explain this to somebody pretty much every* fcking merge window?"
>"And btw, the reason* for that rule becoming such a hard rule was
pretty much exactly suspend/resume and ACPI. Exactly because we used
to have those infinite "let's fix one thing and break another" dances.
So you should be well acquainted with the rule, and I'm surprised to
hear that kind of utter garbage from you in particular."

Kernel isn't a place for feelings.
