Physical well-being isn't free on the internet, since every aspect of well-being can be affected by every other one. Chronic emotional stress has physical effects, for instance. Bullying can impact each aspect. My spiritual wellbeing isn't about religion. It's about what the quality of connection is between myself and others. I prefer peaceful connection and hypothesize it's healthier for me in the long-run.
I'm right there with you that if someone triggers themselves over my words, the triggered person is responsible for how they react/respond to it. I also choose to share in the responsibility because whether I intended for that outcome or not, it still happened as a result of someone's personal state encountering my words/actions. I aim to respond compassionately to them and hopefully empathize with where they're at in a way that invites healing around both them triggering in the moment and whatever they're carrying from the past. I view this as my responsibility because I've learned how to heal around several of my own issues and wish to help others learn how to heal themselves.
By doing so, I can contribute to cultures in ways that promote wellbeing beyond the context of whatever we're coming together to do.
Also, Linus's behavior isn't the only way to operate and his goals can be met in other ways. Him doing this since 1991 doesn't necessarily mean it's a sustainable way to be for him... It simply means his behavior doesn't outweigh the usefulness of his contributions, yet.
