Have you actually read his response? https://github.com/joyent/libuv/pull/1015#issuecomment-29568172 https://github.com/joyent/libuv/pull/1015#issuecomment-295

Have you actually read his response? https://github.com/joyent/libuv/pull/1015#issuecomment-29568172 https://github.com/joyent/libuv/pull/1015#issuecomment-29568... I don't think it was a dodgy call. I think people went unforgivably ape-shit, gained effectively nothing, and made someone else feel bad enough that they stopped contributing to an important project.

I did, thanks very much for asking. Originally however he called it "trivial" which gives a bad impression. Furthermore I think generally you shouldn't say that any contribution is "more trouble than it's worse" because that stops a tonne of people being part of the open source community. > I think people went unforgivably ape-shit I'm not sure people went "ape-shit". There was a lot of discussion but it was generally polite, a lot more so than the normal internet discussion. >they stopped contributing to an important project That's a shame

  > There was a lot of discussion but it was generally polite Except where everyone called for him to be fired, and publicly slandered and demonized him on Twitter, github, HN, and in blogs. But apart from that, yes, a model of civility.

    Hence the word "generally". That was a vocal minority, on the comments linked at least. The person who did it got called out from people on both sides. I can't comment on the rest of the places.

      I'm not sure if Joyent's blog, which characterized him as an "asshole", would qualify as a minority voice.

  There was a lot of discussion but it was generally polite There was an announcement from the node people saying that had he been an employee, he would have been fired on the spot. Not retrained, mediated, facilitated or whatever. Nothing inclusive, just 'put a foot wrong, bam, fired'. There was no profanity, but it was a pretty offensive and poorly-thought out response from Joyent, a professional entity. It was a terribly-managed situation, and while I certainly think his commit refusal was wrong, after a comment like that (the subtext is 'i personally hate this guy, froth froth froth'), I can't blame the guy for leaving.

Have YOU read any of the rest of the thread? The initial request was entirely reasonable. The maintainer in question himself indicates later that the request should have been honored....but he does so only after his erroneous judgment and reasoning (if you can call it that) has to be repeatedly pointed out to him. Then his "response" smacks of nothing more than after-the-fact attempted rationalization for his behavior, followed by just...petulance. If he worked for me, he'd have been fired. He's the only one who went "ape-shit".
