This is an unfair characterization of what happened. Here's another version: The maintainer did not denigrate anyone, he did call the patch "boring" (which isn't really an insult or anything?), worked on his own patch (without closing the previous PR mind you). People immediately starting shitting on the maintainer - within the hour - because the PR had not been merged. Maintainer chose to delete the issue to avoid it devolving into the usual mess. More shitting contest happened here on HN, on Reddit, and elsewhere.
- jcranmer 7y agoI would like to believe you. But without access to the actual issue in question, I have no reason to trust your account of the events over nindalf's account of the events. To me, deleting the issue instead of disabling comments or making read-only suggests mens rea on the maintainer that their actions were out of line and regrettable, and don't suggest an effort to de-escalate the situation.
