I'm not sure if this is a typo on Jacob William Rees-Mogg, or George R.R. Martin

poor impulse control and a lack of long-term thinking and an inability to take others’ feelings into account

And what is stopping you from just saying that, rather than using a pithy pejorative with a side order of pop psychology? Or even “emotionally immature” rather than needlessly infantilizing him by pushing the age comparison down to “attitude of an infant”? It's not just brevity. On some level you must want to express disdain for his behaviour.

I (seriously) do not see this as any different to "he hurt a few people’s fee-fees". That guy chose those words to convey his disdain for the people Linus hurt. He could rationalize his dismissiveness just as you have, via “children are more sensitive” or whatever, and it would be equally spurious.

One behavior is inherently childish. One is not. One is objectively the attitude of an infant and thus does not require the act of infantalization in order to be framed as such.

No, it isn't, and this is a subjective opinion on your part. Not everyone agrees with you, so it's not objective. Even what exactly is 'childish' behaviour is subjective, and arguably culturally dependent.

His behaviour is pretty much by definition, that of an adult. An adult with poor impulse control, poor anger management skills, sure. But childish? That's a value judgement which contains no insight likely to reach anyone. It adds nothing to the conversation.

Use less reductionist words to explain why it's bad.

Or to rephrase: Linus' reply isn't bad because it is childish. All calling it childish, or infantile, communicates is your own judgement.

Also; describing your judgement as 'calling out' - particularly when this is behaviour he has since admitted was poor, and has taken time out to address - just reads like you're using the language of social justice to justify judgemental language.

... he hurt a few people’s fee-fees.

Way to infantalize the people calling him out while excusing his childish tantrums.

You're infantilizing Linus' expression of anger, just the same as the person you're replying to is infantilizing people who're upset by it.

Either they're both bad, or they're both acceptable - or you're effectively saying that infantilization is fine, but only towards people whose behaviour you disapprove of.

Way to infantalize ... his childish tantrums.

Come on dude. Either there's a standard here or there isn't.

That’s a bit harsh.

He looks more like Mac’s mom. Charlie’s mom might be needy, but she doesn’t look that rough!

Except surely it's the public who end up reaping. DNC don't give a fuck. Consequences don't land on them.

Yeah that’s what I mean. Same as .dj is Djibouti, but people use it for music; or .mu (Mauritius) or .am / .fm (Armenia/Federated States of Micronesia); .io (Indian Ocean Territory) for tech (from Input/Output); .gg (Guernsey) for gaming or gambling; or .tv (Tuvalu) for Television.

.ml means 'Marxist-Leninist'. From their about page:

"In particular, I would like to see someone (or a group of people) create a mainstream, or liberal instance. That should help to avoid further drama, and avoid attempts to turn lemmy.ml into something that it is not."
