Well there's a difference between "it's not good enough" and " fuck you you fucking code fart". Being direct doesn't equate to being an asshole. You can be direct while also being respectable and polite. But it's still funny watching people lose this shit.

" fuck you you fucking code fart"

Linus didn't call Mauro anything at all, much less a code fart. If anything, then an idiot (indirectly, by saying "I don't want to hear that kind of garbage and idiocy from a kernel maintainer again".

How many of the people complaining about the mail being abusive or whatnot actually read it.

No, that was just an example. I just meant it comes off as aggressive as all. Especially the Stfu part

I would say I did read not only this email, but whole chain, but I did not complain to say that.

Most people would agree middle ground is better, but lots of people see the raw anger as refreshing and real

ENOENT is not a valid error return from an ioctl. Never has been, never will be. ENOENT means "No such file and directory", and is for path operations. ioctl's are done on files that have already been opened, there's no way in hell that ENOENT would ever be valid.

Sounds more like "it's not good enough".
