> Are you saying that these 1-5% provide more contributions then that huge chunk of the 95% that are, in your words, "overly sensitive"? Not at all. The 1-5% are usually the ones working by themselves creating a project from scratch and then maintaining those projects as others join the project. The capacity to remain highly focused on solitary tasks (like starting and building an open source project until it is useful enough for others to get involved) is more common in people on the aspie side of the spectrum. The other 95% are not overly sensitive. Maybe just 1-5% are overly sensitive and lack the capacity to function with abrasive and insensitive people. The middle 90-98% plus the 1-5% that are the linchpins of any open source project are responsible for most of the open-source world. We basically only lose the overly-sensitive ones (men and women), which is an acceptable loss until we start seeing open-source projects of significant technical importance written largely by people who are overly sensitive. I don't see that happening because overly-sensitive people are generally pre-occupied with being overly sensitive instead of getting things done. When I read complaints by someone being overly sensitive, I check their github profile and look for other technical contributions. Typically there isn't much to look at. Technical contributions entitle you to your opinions. Lastly, I honestly have nothing against people who are overly sensitive so long as they either stop being overly sensitive or at least keep their overly sensitive thoughts to themselves and focus on the technical issues of the task at hand. I just exhausted of people derailing technical discussions because they are overly sensitive. Anyways, I'm being overly sensitive about overly sensitive people in open-source, which is a massive waste of my time. Back to coding.
