Open Letter: Internet, Lighten up

Basically same problem different developer. There is an online community of developers who seem to enjoy devaluing another persons self worth.

Listen to your mother, she was right. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. If you have someone do this to you, politely remind them that they have no right to devalue your life nor your self esteem. Give them some rope, let the people hang themselves.

Also realize the bigger the name, the bigger the ego.
