In my opinion, Jonathan does not deserve any of such condescending
words.
But maybe the Git maintainers are okay with such a tone on this list?
Agreed, and no.
We've been hoping we can do without a rigid code of conduct written down to maintain cordial community focused on technical merits, and instead relied on people's common sense, but sense may not be so common, unfortunately, so we may have to have one.
Just for the record, what exactly is the problem with the above?
1) The fact that I say it's obvious
2) The fact that I say everyone is entitled to their own opinions
Obviousness is in the eye of the beholder. This is a fact that I tend
to forget just too easily as well.
You probably didn't intend it, but your sentences at the top can be read
more like: "This is a logical consequence. If you don't understand
that, your mental capabilities must be lacking.". That's obviously
(ha!) a rude thing to say.
Also, and I'm sure you didn't know that, "Jedem das Seine" (to each his
own) was the slogan of the Buchenwald concentration camp. For that
reason some (including me) hear the unspoken cynical half-sentence "and
some people just have to be sent to the gas chamber" when someone uses
this proverb.
No accusations intended, just trying to answer your question from my
point of view.
