The most interesting part of Linus interaction with a bigot is, that those bigots "want to have the old Linus back", but they fail to see that it's "the old Linus":
Insulting people who should know better, just instead of kernel contributors and maintainers, it's bigots on the receiving end and they don't like it 🙃
Maybe they'll figure it out if they think about it for a second...
