The Linux community is notorious for its incredible intolerance and inexcusable rudeness. It is common, even normal, on this mailing list. I have been hugely dismayed by this situation for many years but I'm not convinced there's much that can be done about it; it happens with the tacit approval, even the encouragement, of the people who run the project and there is no mechanism to correct it. Look at Linus Torvalds' own reputation; that's the role model. They think that's good. They actually believe it's appropriate professional behaviour; that's the kind of people you're dealing with.

Huh.

No, this is not normal Linux community behaviour. Maybe it is normal 
here, but it is not normal in the channels where I participate, and I do 
a lot of support for new (or not) users. On some of the channels a rude 
person is expelled by the moderators.

Linus Torvalds maybe rude - I don't know, I don't participate where he 
is, but like many I have seen his explosions when they hit the fan - but 
that's an inner circle, not a support channel.
