I disagree. It's not OK for contributors to react defensively when asked questions, and in particular I don't think it's OK that some contributors are punished for merely disagreeing, while others are given a pass for snarling at feedback. This is double standards. The Git project should not play favorites, and all contributors should be asked to assume good faith. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith It should be implied that the feedback given is to try to improve the project, it should not need to be stated. -- Felipe Contreras
