That definition starts with this:

"Any kind of repeated pattern of inappropriate, derogatory or
threatening speech directed at one individual by another."

The key word being *REPEATED*. I don't see Linus *repeatedly*
insulting Mauro (or any other developer), under that definition, it's
not verbal abuse.

I don't like that definition, but even in that one your claim doesn't stand.
