Mozilla now banning people for grumpy bug reports

I couldn't agree with that. Imagine what the landscape of software would look like without all those abrasive "bullies" that Mozilla is wringing their hands about: no Theo, no Zed, no Steve, no Richard ... hell, no Linus, for that matter.

So any open-source community would be better without them, eh?

I don't know about other open source communities. Perhaps they thrive on toxic environments full of bullies. But I do know quite a bit about the Mozilla community and I'm quite certain that we are better off without him.

I expect my users to be thirteen-year-old immature brats with no concept of the effort required to write code nor the time constraints which adults generally have to work within, but I think I'm a special case. :3

Open-source community would surely be better without people being bullies. It's not like anyone's creative ability or technical excellence comes from bullying other people.
