    I go out of my way to provide a document that I think might be
    useful to
    others and get nothing but harsh criticism for it.  How would
    YOU feel
    if the roles were reversed?  I wasn't looking for a "Thank you
    thank you
    for providing a wonderful document.", however I was not looking
    for a
    "You asshole.  We have no idea what you are talking about.  Piss
    off."
    either.  And the latter is what I got.

    This whole thing could have been avoided had he either not
    responded at
    all if the message didn't concern him, respond with some USEFUL
    feedback, or apologize for being a jerk to begin with.

    As far as the "community" as a whole, go out there and read the
    trade
    publications and the publications that business decision makers
    base
    their decisions about the community on.  They all, pretty much,
    say the
    same thing.  Open Source is great.  The people are not.  That's
    what it
    boils down to.

Well, with an attitude like that, I can say that I don't think your absence on the list will be missed. That's a mighty big chip on your shoulder. It must be heavy.
