Good point, I agree it's not comparable to what has been alleged in this case.
I used Linus just as an example of a very high-profile and widely beloved open source leader, to contrast this relatively unknown developer.
Though, now I think on it, some of the words he used in the past on the mailing list are considered "-ism" level offensive by some people today: "dumb", "retarded", etc.
Hopefully no cancellations incoming for these historical word-mishaps.
