        He also created git. His contribution to modern tech outweighs any number of emailed insults. Calling everyoby equal just because we should be will usher in an era of mediocrity.

        Sounds to me like he's getting called on his bullshit. No use in creating a toxic work environment.

        Which is fair enough, and nowadays most of us can make omelettes without breaking eggs, but he couldn’t, and a lot of the worlds technology is powered by his omelettes.

        Linux is what #Linux is because of him, and the kernel has the quality it does because of his enforcement. Has he crossed lines? Yes. Is he going to be less of a dick in the future? Hopefully. That doesn't merit (pun intended) a philosophical shift to #Postmeritocracy in #OSS.

        He didn't create the operating system, that was the GNU project. He created the kernel which was the last piece. Compiler, debugger, shell tools, etc etc were all from GNU.

        article failed to mention his rationale, his belief,his positive intention ? How can we help him when we do not know ? Impossible to discern whether the underlying fuel is anger, frustration , a personal feeling of disempowerment or tyranny?

        After well over a decade of being an asshole, why should anyone help him? He was a jerk back in 1999/2000 when he came out to the Valley. Really hard to see his long time habit and behavior change. A tyrant stays tyrranical.
