#2Shocking news - half the population is BELOW average IQ

#3Another textbook example of the toxicity of the open source "community".

#4Ah this takes me back. Many years ago, contributed to a few Ruby libraries, life was good. Then Rails hit their first RC post 0.13, and a new set of self-important developers rocked up, demanding all of your attention to add their demanded features, to receive their abuse as to why something worked as documented, and not how they thought it should.
There is a cadre of developers, and I use the word lightly, who Willl rock up and suck the fun out of your open source projects. Beware of them!

#5The reporter seems to be a troll. Quick look at his activity shows that most of his comments are snarky and ill-mannered like the one here
Re: “We assumed every user had an IQ greater than 42”
#6I don't see a problem here, the issue-reporter was condescending, and they received the same back.
His problem, such as it is, could have been resolved with a quick search, but instead he decided to write a snark-ridden ticket.
Users like this should be encouraged to ask for a refund, then ignored.

Thanks for understanding, I'm a bit sorry when I'm not capable of being gentle with other people, however to get the full picture, there is some info missing: he/she posted a few minutes before a much more mean issue, so my reply was addressing the bad behavior of the reporter in both issues, especially in the other one.

#8Another textbook example of the toxicity of the open source "community".
Also another textbook example of the toxicity of humanity. Shall we all just write that bunch off?
Or maybe we can perhaps accept that in any sufficiently large group of people there are bound to be some assholes and not judge a whole "community" by the actions of a (relatively) few individuals.

#9A perfect example of how NOT to write an issue ticket, but also an example of how NOT to respond as well. If it offends you, just close the ticket and if you're feeling generous refer the reporter to a resource on how to write an effective ticket. It would have taken less time than writing 2 angry paragraphs which have the side-effect of discouraging people with genuine questions from even thinking about asking lest they be called "dumb".

"rock up" -- had to look that up in the urban dictionary.
