No, I also found the way he handled it really distasteful. Even before his response, just generally the way the whole thing was attempted under a veil wasn't great. The actions taken should have been transparent from the start.

I do agree that it shouldn't be polluting this thread like this though.

What is the point of this comment? Linus was childish as hell in the email chain and started a bunch of drama for literally no reason. I'm not mad as much as I am embarrassed to be a part of the Linux community when things like this happen.
