Let's shift this discussion away from the terms "abuse" and
"professionalism" to "respect" and "civility". I agree that calling
Linus an abuser is not conducive to moving this conversation forward. I
agree not to use f*ck in my emails anymore, and, as Ted suggests, we'll
see how polite requests get handled.

I concur. Let's discuss this at KS.
