I had a project I gave up and dropped because of the general OSS community being crap.
There were a lot of supporters, but got tired of all the wankers I had to defend the project from. It simply wasn't worth it when I was putting in so much time for free
So, I agree entirely.
It's not everyone, but we do have a lot of donkeys out there honestly, and i suspect it has a bigger impact on the development community than we know
The issue is, as always, the non donkeys not calling out the donkeys.
If you see someone bullying someone else, online of offline, you intervene. Thats basic decency and everyone who doesnt do that is part of the problem.
Someone calling a person names, trolling them or otherwise being an ass should be met with a wall of reports and differing opinions.
Bullying others is only fun if you can do so uninterrupted. More compassion, folks.
