Um. There certainly have been a few incidents in the kernel community where it does seem like people didn't believe that to be true. Entire screeds have been written that basically boil down to "being a jerk is actually good".
And, to wit, dismissing the idea that gently reminding people to be considerate to others is beneficial, using acerbic sarcasm as the main rhetorical tool, may not be the most effective argument. It rather undermines itself, in fact.
