You know, not everything is an opportunity to better yourself. It's perfectly valid to leave when boudaries are crossed - it's weird that you argue the person should "work on themselves" and keep getting deaths threaths over maintaining random stuff.
- cue_the_strings 2y agoOf course it is valid to leave, especially if it's prolonged abuse, but it's a two-edged sword. If you have some bored idiot on the other side, you leaving might encourage them to abuse you even more. If you yield further, then you've allowed yourself to be shut out from the public Internet, depriving yourself of the satisfaction of contributing to projects. My point is that you need to try to be rational in these (emotional) situations, and think about the consequences of your decisions. Sometimes the best solution will affect you more than the abuser, which feels really unfair, but the alternatives are simply worse.

It's up to you whether or not you choose to take advantage of opportunities. Certainly you can chose not to, you can choose to tap out and quit, but as it is a choice so also is it an opportunity.
