We need new open source cultural leaders that set the tone for open source engagements. I see the poor attitude here on HN all the time. Someone posts about their open source project and they often get burned down for not doing x,y,z. It's open source. We should all be grateful for the work people are putting in so that we may benefit. I don't know why so many people regress to neolithic end-users when an OSS project they are using doesn't do something they like or has bugs. It's like just because they have access to it and use it, they are entitled to world class support, as one would expect as a paying user. It's a toxic situation. We need a cultural change that curbs this behavior.
