Well, thank goodness it was only over technical issues.

I was afraid that Linus had discovered that Kay Sievers is (or previously had been) a known acquaintance of Brendan Eich.

Here's a link to the whole thread: http://lkml.iu.edu//hypermail/linux/kernel/1404.0/index.html... Linus's email is the second one down.

I submitted Linus's e-mail as a story https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7532258

I am starting to think, changing the title is probably a good idea.

I always enjoy a Torvalds smackdown. He does it right, crisply and has earned to right to be a d*&$ more than anyone in this industry.

I also like seeing minor-league catfights like Katz/Holowaychuk but his are just brutal and his opponents usually shrink away to make him stop. A not-so-benevolent dictator, but great to watch in action.
