> We don't just go around picking random people to become angry with.

There are all kinds of people and plenty in Linux community do pick up on people merely for not be deferential enough to authority. Or for asking question they find stupid (or don't know answer for). You can get flamed quite easily.

Not all, probably not you, but a lot of people there get quite aggressive quite easily.

> We like change just fine if it brings improvements.

I personally know people who get outrages over changes whenever change happen. Maybe not you, but you are not everybody.

> All of the anger is caused by technical reasons.

No, not all of it. A lot of it is cause by arrogance which is not technical reason. You don't need to know someone personally to get that feeling. A certain amount of the anger has faulty reasoning on itself.
