Sure, but that just adds to the language barrier.

I do. I've met him in person. He's a nice guy, he's just really frustrated
due to changes being made to Fedora which consistently make his work harder
(and I can fully understand that, also because some of the changes annoy the
heck out of me as well).

The "rude" words he's using are a result of the repeated frustration caused
by unhelpful changes to Fedora.
Instead of going after Harald, you should go after the changes which are
frustrating him that much! He's far from the only one annoyed by those
changes!
