Those two may not seem like much (at least I don't think so), but this kind of passive-aggressive behaviour isn't atypical for bnoordhuis. Eventually it'll cause a bad backlash. Like this.
bnoordhuis is an example of a problem that many popular OSS projects will face in their lifetime: is keeping a highly-productive jerk around worth it? On the one hand they produce good code, but on the other they help drag the community's ethos into the tank.
- victorhooi 13y agoI just see a guy following policy, and then reverting the patch when that policy was broken. Also, I don't know if it's very smart calling somebody a jerk whom you've never met, or had any significant dealings with. It's very easy to do it from the comfort of your couch at home, but I suspect it'd be a different story if they were right in front of you. In fact, it's basically bullying. This is the sort of thing you get from reading tabloids or gossip mags - "OMG, Kim Kardashian is like, such a <xyz>, because I read that, like, <xyz> said <xyz> to <xyz>. She is like, a total <xyz>! I mean, if I were her, I'd <xyz>". Seriously, I would have thought that HN as a community is better than that.
