Linus: People take me much too seriously, I can't say stupid crap anymore
I for one despise the political correctness that has occurred&#x2F;is occurring in the current online communities. Anything and everything can and will be misconstrued to suit the needs of the &quot;offended&quot;. Offense is taken, not given. I am sick and tired of the entire SJW mindset that has permeated the WWW and development circles.<p>What was &quot;innocent&quot; a few years ago is now grounds for doxxing, shutting down of accounts, getting people fired, you name it. It seems that &quot;tolerance&quot; is only tolerated if it is agreed with. Voltaire comes to mind here.<p>I never thought Linus was in bad form. His project, his rules. Ditto Theo de Raadt, who I think is a great project leader. I&#x27;ve heard him speak more than once, and he is a very nice guy. Like most leaders of tough projects, these guys endure massive amounts of BS from BS artists, and they need to be able to trounce the idiots and expose them. I have a feeling the majority of people would disagree with me anymore, but then again, my mindset and attitude were largely set by the military long ago, so I like strong leaders who don&#x27;t brook BS.
