> The Linux kernel development culture has always been like this, so it is a bit strange that foul language using bunch of developers turning out to be foul language using bunch of developers is a shock for someone. It suits for some and sure will annoy/scare some. As far as I know bashing is not about the person, but it is about the quality of idea or implementation.
I'm not sure where this is coming from. Sarah's grievance is explicitly about people-bashing, not blunt technical criticism. And there's no hint of surprise here... She's been around quite a while, she saw what the community was like and tried to make things better, and eventually found it to be futile and draining, so she's leaving.
