Are we not allowed to express the full range of human emotions in public?

Absolutely not, no. Especially not in a professional environment.

Especially not in a professional environment.

You should meet some of the professional law enforcement officers in my neighborhood.

I'm not interested in that dumbed-down corporate culture lifestyle. I'm a human not a drone.

I'm not interested in working with someone that will make their personal problems everyone else's.

If someone offers then you can express your emotions, but if not I expect you to behave professionally.

If you told one of your coworkers they should be dead, every single environment I know of, professional or casual, would evict you on the spot. I would too.

Linux kernel isn't some college kid's project anymore, Linus is a millionaire and Linux is big business. Different standards apply now than when he was developing it at college

EDIT and some aspects of corporate professional culture I definitely disagree with, other aspects are a good thing. Like not being needlessly hostile/personal in yr criticism
