So do you have the project’s best interest at heart or not? If you’re more concerned about the intent of a valid contribution than the content, why don’t you ask yourself where your intent is? You rejected a valid contribution based on unverified vibes about the person’s intent, instead of assuming they were just being helpful.

On the other hand, personal connections are becoming even more important, which is unfair to the younger generation and people who don't live near tech hubs.
