The majority of OSS devs, like the majority of human beings, are basically decent and just trying to get through the day. However, some of the most prominent ones are famous for being a-holes (e.g. Linux Torvalds, Theo de Raadt, and especially Ulrich Drepper[1]). They aren't "giving their time and talents to the world for free." They're trading their code for the opportunity to verbally abuse people, and we should not ignore that.

I don't see an issue with Ulrich's behavior here. Calling somebody an idiot after being called "a terrorist" seems rather fair. Being a somebody, of course he is going to be the center of attention, not the dozens of nobodies annoying him into reacting like that.

Nobodies like you, who have no name, who have a disposable identity, who get to accuse people of misdemeanor online. You are not a decent person, that's for sure.
