      Please defend these statements for me. I’m having a hard time understanding how this is language we should strive for in a code review, even with your explanation.

      Additionally, if you can give me any pointers on how I can communicate this way, I’m all ears and would appreciate the help.

          I believe that excellent communication can be had without engineers swearing at each other, and I don’t think there are is any good rationale that warrants such behavior. You believe that there is a time and purpose for the style of conversation that Linus portrayed, and it is warranted and effective behavior.

          I’m going to agree to disagree from here. Thanks for the conversation.
