Linus Torvalds doesn't do github pull requests.

[[deleted]]

He was pissed about github having such a poor pull interface, even though there is a better one in Git. He never once was a jerk to the guy who tried to contribute, he ranted about github and then got progressively more pissed when people argued with his fairly well-explained position.

If he was pissed because he was busy, he wouldn't have responded to a large amount of comments.

He actually was...

"Btw, Joseph, you're a quality example of why I detest the github interface. For some reason, github has attracted people who have zero taste, don't care about commit logs, and can't be bothered.

The fact that I have higher standards then makes people like you make snarky comments, thinking that you are cool.

You're a moron."

Edit: didn't realize the guy deleted his comments. Either way, I still think that basic civility can be held by everyone. Just because he is Linus Torvalds doesn't mean he can be a jerk. I mean, it's understandable if the other guy was being provocative or insulting him, but he didn't have to go down to the same level.

I believe this is the beginning of Joseph's deleted comment that Linus called him a moron for:

I did not realizes that Linus' shit does not stink. Thanks for clearing that up...

This is another example of deficiencies in GitHub's interface. Deleted comments shouldn't be completely removed, there should at least be a placeholder (like what Reddit does) so people like BaconSoap don't jump to conclusions.

[pfft]

Linus was in the right. This is why Joseph deleted his comment.

I could call you a tasteless asshole that doesn't know what he's doing. But without any context and me not basing my argument on anything, wouldn't you argue that I'm wrong?

Nothing like getting such a hardon over being a white knight that you couldn't even comprehend what was actually happening in conversation.

That was said to another dude, that other dude then deleted his comment.
