You basically can. The cost of free stuff like this is "be nice to the guy giving it to you" or at least don't be actively abusive about it. If the community won't pay that price, expect it to evaporate.

This goes both way though. Be nice when people submit patches especially when you reject them.

The abusive comment seems to have been a knee-jerk response from someone dissatisfied by the "it's boring" comment about a proof-of-concept patch.
