This is a really poor way to look at this.

Using this type of language is probably part of the reason the code of conduct exists.

People that work for free on something don't deserve this. No one deserves this. I'm particularly angered by this type of thing because I deal with horrible colleagues all the time. I'm working on getting away from this situation but the job market is not easy to navigate right now. No one should have to feel like the work they do is negatively impacting their mental health because some random on the internet has forgotten they're talking to another human being.
