"Some bad blood between Linus Torvalds and GNOME developers is flaring up again. Previously, Torvalds has said that Linux users should switch to KDE instead of GNOME because of the GNOME team's 'users are idiots' mentality. Now he has 'put his money where his mouth is' by submitting patches to GNOME in order to have it behave as he likes. This week, on the Linux Foundation's (formerly OSDL) Desktop Architects mailing list, the two sides are going mano a mano." Can I interest you in a pair of these and these?

The post was probably modded down because he claimed that the patches where rejected for being written by a "non-idiot" which impiles that people contributing to gnome are idiots.
Besides the patches hasn't been rejected, they're under discussion.
Well, since the person submitting the patch seems to think that only idiots use gnome - that would be about right, wouldn't it?
The action was based on the user being non-idiot and so by his own definition he is not gnomes target.
Linus should leave us idiots to play with our gnome...
