I'm not sure you can consider "Itβs extra nasty this time. Some people go far, far, far over the line." to just be criticism.
What does it say that I wouldn't be surprised one iota if "far, far, far over the line" included death threats? Nobody should be expected to continue to contribute in a community with that kind of vitriol pointed their way.
EDIT: Even if all "far, far, far over the line" means is personal attacks and not death threats, that is still not simply criticism, and it's still far beyond what someone should be expected to endure in the name of "open source".
