   I think you're right.

   It's not really the healthiest pattern.

   And then I feel bad afterwards, so I tend to cave in to assuage my guilt.

   So I usually take the opportunity to sulk, threaten, insult, and demean.

   That all said, I have a terrible temper and I take criticism really seriously.

   And when the person who made Gnome 3 actually says, "Hey, I'm not an idiot," well, they need to cover themselves.

   I think a lot of people say "Gnome 3 was made by idiots" the same way they say "McDonalds is run by idiots."

   But with software, especially SaaS and Open Source, usually the designers and producers are *right there*. They're engaged.

   I think we're still used to a big line of middlemen between consumer engagement with a product and its designers and producers.

    I think the ugly overflow towards developers is due to the short-circuit that the Internet provides.

    We curse a hammer or a shoe for not working because we really need and want them to work. We give less central tools more latitude.

    Someone a) believes in our vision for the software b) has tried to make it work and c) is so engaged that something being wrong is galling.

    I think as developers, though, we need to remember what a good sign passionately angry users can be.

    So, this is a really interesting subject. I find that few things make me as angry as the software I use doing the wrong thing.

    Hmm. OK, that's a really good idea. I'm just messing with you, but maybe I need to make that happen with the next version.

    Also, I wonder how much a license chooser on https://github.com/new would cut down on POS software on github.

    I think that the folk copyright rule is: if I put it online myself, you can download it and use it. But don't screw me over.
