The whole article is one giant "look at this privilege, we need safe spaces" piece of crap.
Not only does this tell others that it is not OK to be disrespectful, it may also give the original commenter a chance to apologies and change his/her behaviour.
I hope someone in the comments goes off on him for spelling "apologize" wrong. (Though I suppose the Brits spell it with an "s", which would still make it - "apologise".)
Do you know what the proper response to someone not appreciating your free software is? "FUCK OFF." If they're right, and there is an issue, make a new issue that only includes technical details and tell them to fuck off in theirs and close it. Done. There always have been, and always will be, asshats in the world.

Good view point. I just ignore asses. I also try to say thank for the code I use.
You're right about dumping code. Lots of people do that.

Entirely too damn sensitive to the shitstorm that is life.

But they want you to feel bad that you, your parents or forefathers worked hard.

definitely butt hurt. fuck ungrateful users and all, but definitely butthurt.
calling out Linus for his privilege is also retarded. if you're on the internet and you are aware of programming and open source, check your own fucking privilege because you probably have just as much as anyone else.

Right!
That comic was so subtle to make youbfeel sorry for her. They skip how he worked hard. They use a sick parent as an excuse fornher to be a waitress. Ugh.

Open Source has no place for disrespect, but the term was created as an act of disrespect for the moral principles of Free Software.

That is a purist view.
