Couldn't agree more: the shoot first and ask questions later treatment of OSS maintainers needs to stop right now. People who make use of OSS projects need to check their sense of entitlement at the door. People don't realise that a lot of these really valuable projects are run on next to zero budget but one, or a very small handful, of core contributors, who give up their own time to do so. If things you don't like happen with a project, start a dialogue, fork it, or use something else instead. Don't just wade in making threats. (Sadly, this has been going on for a very long time: I remember the debacle over .NET 2.0 support in NDoc where the author had some difficult personal circumstances coupled with people constantly hurling abuse at him. Net result: he understandably quit, not just NDoc but all OSS involvement, nobody else wanted to pick up the project, and the project died. This must have been 11 years ago now but it seems like, since then, the problem has if anything become worse.)
