The internet lends itself to critical comments. It's easy to post such comments in an email list, or anywhere else on the web. Would you say those kinds of things to the developer's faces? How likely would you be to have a constructive conversation if you did? Those are still people on the other end of that conversation. How would you respond if someone discounted *your* work in those terms?
I think I would have enough self-confidence and maturity to laugh it off, and ignore it. I do not require someone's approval of my corporeal self, to be confident of its worth.
And I've certainly had enough invective thrown at me over the years. Fortunately, I'm not a delicate snowflake that's vulnerable to frequent triggering and in a perpetual search of a safe space. I'm a big boy. I can handle it. Feel free to (try to) flame me out as much as you care. I won't mind.
And I feel nothing but pity for those who can't handle it, and get wound up over mere words. Especially over some words not even directed at them, but at some abstract individual. I guess someone appointed them to be some kind of sensitivity police, and they get some measure of self-satisfaction out of performing their duties.
Well, whatever floats their boat.
