More like the way they think Linus acts. Yes, sometimes Linus has outbursts, and I think it's fair to criticize him for that. But 99% of the time he's listening to ideas from all sides and deferring to other people on the things he doesn't know. I think a big reason for Linux's success is Linus' skill as a mediator, and that's something these imitators don't seem to grasp.

Right - it's like all modern news reporting - it's incredibly distorted in favour of the dramatic and attention grabbing parts which are usually exaggerated beyond belief. The other 95-99% just doesn't get any attention because it's not news-worthy.
