No, you opened with this

> Only those instances make the news. And then get repeated time and time again. It's a super-biased view not at all representative of his day-to-day behaviour.

You certainly can't represent your post as "I've only seen what I've seen" with that opener. You were claiming the OP was spreading misinformation. That is the lie. Which is why I provided an instance of Linus's tirades that doesn't match up with what you said.

Don't call someone "super-biased" and then be surprised when people don't roll over for you.

> Your post is extremely aggressive, pretty darn toxic, and explicitly the sort of stuff that's not appropriate here.

It's ironic that my mild comment is upsetting you while you defend a mans right to say his employees should've been aborted. Is it just because he's famous? Or because you think the employees were being stupid? Have you considered that "doing stupid" is a subjective assessment that people use as a cudgel to act poorly? What if I thought you were doing stupid, could I say the things Linus says?
