the judgment of behavior -- the social expectations -- is absolutely a thinly-veiled tactic of control
Yeah, control about being a decent human being, if anything, but not about what goes into the kernel. So what's your point?
And how is talking about "thin skin" not also an attempt at controlling people, in the opposite direction? Pah.
Linus doesn't have to be put in his place, and if you don't like that tough luck.
Linus is put into place, every day, every minute, by people being even more blunt about even harder stuff while remaining respectful. Just like a turtle is put in its place by a fox. And if you don't like that on behalf of Linus, well.
