So why burn everything down? I mean he failed to completely do so, but he really tried to destroy it all. That's the tantrum. Asserting your boundaries is - "look I put it out there, you can take it or leave it. I'll do X, but I'm not going to do Y or Z. Don't push me." It is NOT "you guys didn't love me enough 100% so I'm deleting everything with no warning". And there was nothing going on like an "abusive" relationship at all. Criticism != abuse. Work, commitments, expectations != Abuse. Just say "No. Hey I don't want to do this anymore, but I left all my stuff out on the curb". You don't delete it all out of spite with no warning. Option #1 gets sympathy. Option #2 is a major dick move. "Immature". Yes that part is right. But we knew that already from reading the crunchy-bacon riddled adventures. And people didn't mind the immaturity and fun of it (I didn't like it too much, but then I'm just an old buzzard). It didn't go wrong until he bailed and he didn't just bail, he burned it all down. That's the problem. That's the showing of the real person. He didn't just walk away and never look back. He said - if I can't have it, then I'll take it all back and destroy it. That's not just an "artistic temperament". That's an asshole who didn't like the prize he fairly won and decided to be a dick about it. Thankfully people who did care stepped up. I personally don't even like the stuff, but I never want to see it destroyed so those folks who stepped up are the heros. The system and idea of FOSS is the hero too.
