My characterization of the community is spot-on with regards tothe way that I have been treated both on the forums and in the mailing list over-all.I go out of my way to provide a document that I think might beuseful to others and get nothing but harsh criticism for it. How would YOU feel if the roles were reversed? I wasn't looking for a "Thank you thank you for providing a wonderful document.", however I was not looking for a "You asshole. We have no idea what you are talking about. Piss off." either. And the latter is what I got.This whole thing could have been avoided had he either notresponded at all if the message didn't concern him, respond with some USEFUL feedback, or apologize for being a jerk to begin with.As far as the "community" as a whole, go out there and read thetrade publications and the publications that business decision makers base their decisions about the community on. They all, pretty much, say the same thing. Open Source is great. The people are not. That's what it boils down to.
Well, with an attitude like that, I can say that I don't think your absence on the list will be missed. That's a mighty big chip on your shoulder. It must be heavy.
