You can be angry without being rude. I'd much prefer passive aggressiveness than egregious blame-shifting and accusations.

You don't need to be passive agressive either, you can just be polite and factual.

Yeah, that's a hard pass on passive aggressiveness, constructive criticism isn't either of those things nor rude and angry ranting. Love Linus, but he really did need to chill out a bit more with these things. He could have gotten the same point across without coming across as yelling at the guy, just firmly pointing out that it was caused by the patch, the patch did things it shouldn't ever do, and don't break userspace or blame userspace programs
