This is the quote that's the most relevant and was unnecessary for getting his point across:
Quite frankly, I find your attitude to be annoying and downright stupid.
He was being insulting and unnecessarily aggressive.
Post #128 was stating logic and facts. Linus responded with logic and facts also, but before he did so, he stated the insult. Unnecessary and didn't add anything to the debate except emotional provocation.
If someone else doesn't get it, he can say, "This is my point, I hope it makes sense, if it doesn't, I don't know what else I can do to make you understand me." Something like that. And then just stop replying. Instead, he turns it into a pissing match.
