How you managed to read that into the message above is totally beyond me.

>This is a Linus' flaw, of course, but one we can live with in the context of his hugely positive net contribution.

Said in response to a comment by Linus directly stating that someone should be retroactively aborted (murdered).

It takes an extreme lack of understanding of how people actually use English to believe that Linus was actually advocating murder with the message he made, no matter the literal content.

If you seriously believe he was advocating murder, I presume you have reported the matter to the police, as in that case it is a criminal offence.

Be reasonable. Do you seriously read that meaning into Linus' message? Couldn't it have an interpretation other than a literal one? I know a lot gets lost in written format, but ... come on!

I think you should be retroactively aborted due to your unrelenting pedantry which serves no one and isn't even amusing.

Just kidding, I hope you die in a couch fire.
