Yes. And I do it partly (mostly) because it's who I am, and partly
because I honestly despise being subtle or "nice".
The fact is, people need to know what my position on things are. And I
can't just say "please don't do that", because people won't listen. I
say "On the internet, nobody can hear you being subtle", and I mean
it.
How about "Please don't do that. It won't work because ...."?
Not subtle and not mean.
Not sure what '"nice"' means.

In that case, they cannot be applied to Linus either.
I support Linus' position. Which is related to my sig file. Sometimes
telling the truth and being blunt hurts. So be it.
From FC's position I would infer:
"That's stupid. Shut up." is ok,
"Don't do that. It violates a commit rule you should have known: ....".
is too subtle to be wise.
