I'm reminded of this mid-2000s example of toxic behavior from Richard Stallman on Emacs, in response to a contributor who didn't have time to work on something because he just had a baby girl: https://tess.oconnor.cx/2005/04/rms https://tess.oconnor.cx/2005/04/rms
> It doesn’t take special talents to reproduce—even plants can do it. On the other hand, contributing to a program like Emacs takes real skill. That is really something to be proud of.
> It helps more people, too.
- secondcoming 5y agoI found that quite funny.
- zozbot234 5y agoThe obvious point is that he was being funny at that contributor's expense, which is asshole behavior. He's also showing his complete lack of appreciation for the guy's past contributions to the project. Just terribly rude all around.
