I think anybody who has a vested interest in FOSS and in a project has the right to say "I think we are sending the wrong message to the younger generation what it takes to succeed in Open Source" I personally feel that we are sending the message 1) Find the person who has contributed the most to a project, 2) Select some choice pieces out of the 10,000 emails they have written that suggests they are a jerk 3) Show this to the world and say "You see, your hero is a big jerk" 4) Have your friends twit and blog the message until everyone thinks this guy is a big jerk. 5) Write up a lengthy painful to read doctrine about how you are going to bring peace to the project. 6) Broadcast how your doctrine has made the project a more civil place for discuss BTW - I rarely try to get into things like discussing Cocs and stuff, but this time I am just fed up with having my concentration ruined when I could be devoting precious time to my projects. This is causing me severe emotional distress.
