> Of course, if other developers find your project interesting and want to contribute, they may have their own features and use cases in mind that don't necessarily overlap with what you have planned, which doesn't however mean that it has to be a "wrong direction". Yes it actually means exactly that -- it is the wrong direction. Since you have one person who wants to build something concrete and he doesn't owe it to anyone to support them if they want to change his thing to something else. As I wrote in a deeper comment: if you want to build a shed in your back yard and your neighbor asks if he an help, you'll welcome them right? But then imagine the neighbor, for reasons unknown to you, wants to actually build a greenhouse and starts not doing what is asked of them and actively replaces building blocks and does stuff you don't want them to do. In your own back yard. You will say this is not OK and want them to leave, I am certain of it. Then somebody like you (the parent poster, a 3rd person in the picture) appear out of nowhere and claim that you are not a team player. So I don't see how your comment follows logically at all and it's even more puzzling that it's the top comment. Makes me wonder if the people who blindly recite some theoretical democracy manifesto would be so generous if "the team players" you are defending started wanting to demand the right to change your back yard. :)
