> personally I don't see any validity in the "it's free so I am beyond reproach" mentality that open source people seem to have. What makes you think that I would thank someone for something that was free even if I didn't want it? Or that anyone would for that matter. Thanking people regardless of what they did, just because they did it for free, is one way to erase market signals which govern the direction of open source projects. Damn. Most of the time people follow their reasoning with, "I am paying for this, so do the stuff I want exactly how I want." But, This is the first time I've seen someone using the free-market to excuse being a dick to someone who's giving their work out to the world for free. The amount of entitlement mentality in this person is so unreal, I'm literally almost exploding in rage here, because I can't believe anyone would treat anyone else like that. To the maintainers: 99.999% of people out there are not like this person, and we appreciate your work very much. Thanks for putting that work out there. Your effort is also unreal, but a kind version of unreal!
