    I wasn’t implying criticism isn’t allowed.

    But opinions on what somebody should do with their time and project are just that.

    Feedback must be given in a respectful way or it’s not effective. That often doesn’t happen with open-source projects and until we change the culture around open-source, this is going to just keep happening.

    Opinions ate like assholes. Everybody has one. Doesn’t mean its relevant or important. The number of intelligent people who confuse opinion with fact never fails to astound me.

      The issue causing offence and collecting unuseful feedback is surely an issue in every project. Is there sometime unique or prominent regarding to open source software?

      We can judge opinions to the degree they appear to accurately represent reality or achieve a goal. I can understand wanting to monopolize your work (without money survival is difficult) but if we agree to the goal of human flourishing then we can same some opinions are better than others.
