He is much more dynamic than Torvals and represents a leading character in a *BSD world...
The following words taken from the old interview sum up pretty good about his attitude:
"
Some vague claims have been made that the fuss was over stuff that I
said. Well, if anything I said back in those days was a crime against
the community, I would say it again. And as anyone on our mailing
lists knows, I am not someone to mince words. I say things as they
are. Slackers are called slackers, people who can't read manual pages
are called losers, and in general, calling things what they are
results in developers wasting less time."

So, for every nitpicker and whiner out there:
Stop complaining and wasting others time and code!
