>And you don't have to be "easily offended" to dislike interacting with Linus.

If you don't do something because of a personal dislike, and expect others to cater to your culture and personal preferences, then the problem is you.

I've yet to work for a company where there wasn't some people I personally disliked working with. part of being professional is putting aside things like dislike and focusing on the core mission/goals and finding ways to work together despite how you feel.

Those that CANNOT work with linux I would say are those that are easily offended. Some may choose not to, but that is their own personal choice.
