This is not about obligation to fix bug reports. It is about respectful communication, which is pretty orthogonal.

- fellellor 4y agoI can just ghost you. The only obligatory relationship possible between us is either of blood or money. As a private individual, I don’t really owe you anything. You have the previlege of not having to use my work, or fork it and make it your own.
- epse 4y agoYou can and that's fine, but if you do reply and you're unnecessarily rude, I hope we can agree that's bad
- LtWorf 4y ago> I hope we can agree that's bad No we can't agree on that. There is no obligation to be polite.
- biorach 4y agoRudeness is highly corrosive in a collaborative environment, RMS is damaging the community needed to sustain development by his rudeness.
- LtWorf 4y agoThere is no obligation to collaborate either. I can write a software, publish it and insult people who wrongly report bugs. Of course I wouldn't expect people to love me for that, and it's not how I personally act; but if someone felt like acting in this way, it would be fully within his/her rights to do so.
- biorach 4y agoRMS has the right to behave as he wants. He is not obliged to behave in a particular way. My point is that the way he chooses to behave is in the long run damaging to the community that he founded and leads.
- LtWorf 4y agoI replied to a comment saying "a maintainer". If you had unilaterally decided to change topic without informing me… well in the future try not to do that.
- praptak 4y agoThe only truly obligatory relationship is between you and the physical world. It's dictated by the laws of physics.
