This attitude is gross: open source contributors are not your bitches.

And in open source, if you spot a problem: fix it by contributing.

Shaming someone publicly (isn't it bullying?) that contributes a lot for «being unnice» on his spare time helping people is like shaming a construction worker for being sweaty.

Instead of whining he should take part of the load. Especially if he ares about the community.

Given that the author IS an open source contributor, DID spot a problem, DID contribute a fix, and therefore DID attempt to take part of the load, three of those lines appear redundant.

Regarding the remaining line, you appear to be suggesting that anyone who spends their spare time helping people, or volunteers in some way, is entitled to be rude and unhelpful. Is that really your position?
