@the_zenspider this doesn't help, but I understand your PoV (walled gardens) and I hope this can be worked out.

@jc00ke *looks for a public admonishment of brixen*… You condone him telling a contributor "That was only worth 0.25%. 0% in future"? Odd.

@the_zenspider Nope, I don't condone it, I just think a different approach might have a better result.

@jc00ke assuming that there is a better result with this person is naive at this point. I'd rather ppl not waste time then get shat upon

@the_zenspider it's hopeful, not naïve. Just about anything can be worked out.

@jc00ke @the_zenspider I remain hopeful even after half a decade of similar behavior. But it won't last forever.

@the_zenspider hm. It's too bad. @blowmage's stellar attitude in maintaining minitest-rails pulled me out of RSpec hell.

@the_zenspider that's really unfortunate :\

@therealadam yup. very.

@the_zenspider @therealadam finally, someone is standing up to those playground bullies Tom Enebo and Aaron Patterson

@tehviking @the_zenspider @therealadam We (JRuby) are frequently maligned in public for not contributing. When we contribute, we get this.

@headius most devs I know have had the same experience I have with JRuby folks: consistently one of the sharpest & kindest OSS communities

@tehviking @headius wow reading that backchat is really sad.

@tehviking @headius clearly maintains need a nearly irrational motivation sometimes to keep at it, but us vs them mentality is so unhealthy

@tehviking @headius for both the maintainer and the community.

@the_zenspider Wow. So I skimmed this earlier, shook my head, and moved on. Just read more. Wow. Is it possible to revoke a Ruby Hero award?

@erniemiller good question.
