There's a huge difference between having the power of Ortiz -- in effect, a gun pointed at Aaron saying "come to jail peacefully or die resisting arrest, your choice" -- and Linus tossing off remarks he's obviously not going to implement.
Really what Linus hates are stupid people so he spouts off about them from time to time. E.g. like those who can't see the difference between a harsh remark and actual bullying. If he read your remark we might see some fireworks.
Oh please. There is fantasy land and then there is reality. Press releases are not guns. White-collar criminals do not die resisting arrest. And internet bullies like Torvalds cause way more suicides than prosecutors like Ortiz.
