Why claim GNU grep would get "extreme, undue" amounts of respect? Should not all collaborative projects be afforded some basic level of respect? What is the underlying meaning of entering a collaborative software development community (the world of open source) and feeling, as you do, that it would be an "extreme, undue" level of respect to not purposefully attack (as to explicitly reference your "even if they did") the work of other people who are just trying to do good and would likely love to work together with you on a shared goal?

If you think a project is bad then you should be allowed to say so. I'm sure you have used a software tool that you have complained about despite the fact that it was open-source.
It's a bridge to far to directly attack people just for working on an open-source project, but the creator of this project did not do that, obviously.
