So you felt the need to rant at someone, knowing that it wouldn't be productive and that they'd experienced abuse over this in the past, but did it anyway? Why

So you felt the need to rant at someone, knowing that it wouldn't be productive and that they'd experienced abuse over this in the past, but did it anyway? Why do you feel that's an appropriate way to act toward another person? Ignoring that FOSS developers are basically working in the public good (and usually unpaid or underpaid relative to their impact), this is a childish way of acting towards anyone in an even remotely professional environment. The maintainer replying to you was actually a courtesy, but of course you see it in a negative light. If every technical disagreement you have ends with you ranting/abusing the other person, you'll quickly discover you're the only one left in the room.
