    people get all kinds of ideas on what they are owed

    but expecting educated, talented people to do boring/difficult/unfun stuff for free is lol

      There’s no expectation here. You’re free to walk away from a project any time. You’re free to take your ball and go home. The question is about whether you’re immune to criticism.

      I say that when you put a project out into public and people start using it, you invite criticism (but also praise, of course). The issue is with people who think they’re only entitled to praise and not criticism. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

          But you’re free to criticize, free to fork, and free to ignore in the open source world. Can’t take the criticism? Too bad! Grow a spine!

              Except in the case that I originally brought up, which seems like years ago in this thread: thousands of people complaining about the same issue.

              Then no one takes the project seriously.
