I think that somethink like "Greg, you really disappointed me because I know you know better" would be more clear and polite
Are you really sure? To me Linus version translates to "Greg, you are really slow today and you are doing something really stupid, please stop and we'll be able to work from there" while your version translates to "Greg, you've disappointed me so much I can no longer even express it, I don't even have any swear words left and thus I don't know how I can continue to work with you".
I will expect to see something like "I remove you from list maintainers and will no longer pull patches from you. This is the end." in the next line.
P.S. And this not just my opinion as you can see.
