fwiw I read this comment and didn't find it dismissive at all. shykes indicated this isn't the experience the docker community is striving for and asks for specific instances so that he could gain more context and to potentially address the problem. I have seen many instances of individuals with no affiliation to an open-source project being negative or rude and therefore giving a negative impression of the community or parent company. As a project owner or maintainer this is a really difficult thing to see happening, and can be difficult to address and prevent. So I personally think shykes makes a valid point. I wouldn't take this as dismissive. Give him the benefit of the doubt. I also think we should cut maintainers a bit of slack. Imagine your are managing an open source project with over 10,000 logged issues and even more in the community forums. It is draining to spend all day dealing with complaints and issues and can be a thankless job. Maintainers often try to put their best foot forward, but it isn't an easy and they are human, and make mistakes and say things they regret. I'm not saying it is justified, just try to put yourself in their shoes. I've personally logged a few issues with the Docker team and have also found the interactions to be respectful. There are times when I've asked for features and they have certainly played devils advocate, but that is to be expected with any project that is trying to prioritize their work and constantly fighting feature creep.
