I agree. I've been noticing community people at Canonical (especially Mark) doing this kind of thing a lot. It's making it a lot harder for me to respect them or their project, even though I'd like to. One of the reasons I started using Ubuntu was its level-headedness and pragmatism. Lately I'm seeing a lot of blog posts from these guys, full of half-truths and accusations of massive FUD-spreading conspiracies, spaced between walls of vacuous vitriol. That definitely is not the sensible project I remember. Present facts, assume the other party means well (we're all here making free software!), and remember that typing at someone on the internet sounds very different from talking with them in person. It isn't hard to do, but sometimes it's easy to forget, and then stuff like that Google+ thread happens.
