Linus Torvalds is not an intelligent person. His argument style is extremely feeble, propped up solely from an ulterior, omnipresent appeal to authority. If he was just another poster, we would handwave his politics and social arguments as utter drivel.

He created some awesome software. Git, Linux. But the dude should have been kicked out of Linux dev a while ago. He is no longer required, and just runs his mouth constantly.
