Ah yes, Linus Torvalds, the man who convinced generations of nerds that it's okay to treat others like shit as long as you're "right".

He's like the walking epitome of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."

Edit: and the neckbeards who spring to his defense always screech about how everybody else needs to stop being so thin-skinned.

No, assholes need to stop treating people like shit. Don't put this on the rest of us

Ooof, 105 upvotes vs 105 downvotes over someone calling out shitty behavior looks about right. Here's a humble upvote to tilt you over to the good side.

But I used the word "neckbeard", therefore my argument is invalid
