Everyone gets angry, but this is not a constructive way to communicate what someone else needs to do. You can express all of this without belittling and swearing at someone. Being angry is fine, taking it out on other people is rude and unnecessary.

How to communicate with someone who in conversation about KDE randomly blames pulseaudio and opensuse?

He basically has one rule and one rule only... we don't break user space... IMO, if you break that one rule, I believe he has the right to be angry. It's not constructive, but I wouldn't hold it against him.

If he was my boss and he treated me like this I would absolutely hold it against him! Honestly I don't care how much an employee fucks up, there is no excuse for abusing them.

Even more so because Torvalds is not his boss and the guy is a volunteer that is not being paid for his contribution.
I'm glad Torvalds was the bigger man and got help for his temper.

Red Hat email, not a volunteer.

Where is abuse part? More like victimblaming from Mauro.

Yeah, I completely agree, the guy's a duche, blaiming others for his mistake (assumption, that leads to a shitty PR, which is a mistake).

As I said, if I did that, I would gladly take the heat from Linus. Own up to your mistake. Yes, you do deserve to be called names. You're a maintainer for the most wide spread kernel in the world. "But I don't get paid...". You can quit at any time pal, no one is forcing you to do it.
