Of course you and Joshua are right, and I won't pursue this discussion.

I only want to point out some fairly obvious things:
1) There is a subtle difference between critisizing someone's work and atacking
someone personally.
2) Lots of people, including myself, do Open Source work in their spare time and
as volunteers. This is not an excuse for doing this work badly and for inability
to listen to the critique.
