Showing respect for other people allows criticising them. The attitude
that "I'm right so I can be rude to people" is the first step on the road
of fundamentalism, whose endpoint is that "other people have no value
unless they agree with me".
[...]
Yet, it's not acceptable to be rude on a repeated basis and as the "normal"
way of dealing with people and their opinions. Most, if not pretty much
everyone, agree to that. For those who like being rude (again, criticising !=
rude)

So in your expert opinion, are Linus's "your code is crap" responses (and mind
you - seeing carp code happens even more often in userspace) considered
repeatedly rude?
