Putting up with abuse and good people skills are orthogonal.
Also I never said anything about an “unstable core contributor”.
I fully disagree that nothing can be done about this. I never said people shouldn’t have to deal with disagreements or unlicensed use. Yeah that’s going to happen.
All I’m saying is projects should take a much much harder line on abusive/rude treatment. The people who act that way will never change if they don’t face consequences. When project A puts up with it, they learn they can do it to B and C too.
But if A and B stood up, maybe C and D wouldn’t even see it.
It will never be zero. But it can be a lot less than it is now.
- talldayo 3y agoProjects do take a hard line against abusive treatment - the most successful ones ignore or delete those comments altogether. This entire post is about someone reading a comment and not being willing to accept that there's nothing they can do about it besides refute them and move on.
