I don't think I said they have to be mutually exclusive. But part of the problem, as outlined in the original post, is that these weren't anybodys disparaging an open source project...they were veritable celebrities! (Just look at their follower count!) At the same time, Steve (as he stated in his post), seems to be having a hard time expressing his remorse. My suggestion is that he should remember why he ever attained "celebrity" status in the first place... ...also, it's a lot harder to disparage other people's code when you're buried deep in your own code. Edit: I lost track of whose post was whose and originally wrote "as he stated in this post". Corrected.
