Not so sure. Didn't he tell an entire company to go fuck themselves and throw them the middle finger on public video?

And as a bonus, I think it resulted in a positive outcome.

You just proved my point. He wasn't talking face to face with an Nvidia engineer and told him "hey, you suck, fuck you!". He acts like this behind email and a video camera. Maybe he can behave the same way face to face in his very civilized Finland, I don't know. Where I'm from, he would probably get beat-up.
