This is a seriously fucked up thing to say. Christ, do you even realize what you're saying? You're advocating for bullying people just because they were involved in writing a piece of software. Seek help.

I see no reason not to hound out bad people from the developer community. It is a legitimate reaction to people whose offence of Linux development community goes far beyond writing bad software.

  No, personal attacks are never acceptable. Doubly so if you're an outsider who has done nothing for the project except attack the main developer. The legitimate way would be to take part in the development and convince based on technical reasons. If people disagree with you, consider that you might be wrong. If you think you're right anyway, fork it, and see if /other/ people agree with you. Chances are they won't. The people actually maintaining all the distros didn't all switch to systemd within a few years for no reason.

    >The people actually maintaining all the distros didn't all switch to systemd within a few years for no reason. They switched out of prospect having unmaintainable initscripts and having DEs being turned useless. RH/SystemD liaisoning with distro maintainers at around 2013 can be said to be trollish blackmail. Again, the point here is how apaling is the conduct of RH/SystemD core developers. SystemD could've been treated as a simple piece of bad software, if not for the group of people pushing it having such toxic personalities. You do not confront trolling with bugreports and patches.
