Does your comment also apply to this specific e-mail?
I just read it and it seems pretty tame to me. It's direct but if people get offended by this these days, by gods, we have a problem. Sometimes growing a thicker skin is the answer, one can't put the burden all on the messenger.
I mean, there's some Linus e-mails (and also Erik Naggum posts on Usenet) that I thought were awesome when I was young and impressionable but that I now think are over the line. But this specific example, if that's not possible... phew.)
(I also get the impression some commenters here do not realize what "fsck" refers to.)
