I read a lot of hostility in your questions. And you’ve put a lot of words into my mouth that I never said.

It’s upsetting because I’m trying to advocate for treating open source contributors and maintainers well, and either you’re not understanding that deliberately or I’ve not spoken well enough.

What I would love right now is for you go find out who Rafael Mendonça França is. I want you to find out about him and the wonderful things he’s done for the community.

I want you to find some thread online one day where his name comes up and I want you to defend him or any of the other contributors who have given so much and asked for so little.

Do it with the passion you’ve go here. Can you do that? Will you try?
