OK, someone makes a snap judgement, the other gets miffed and
complains. What's the harm in that? That's how equilibrium is
reached; people don't feel defenseless, and maybe some other people
think twice about being nasty. We are all adults, hopefully: the right
to growl is also the obligation to be growled at.[0]
The _particular context_; a person puts time and effort into releasing
source, expecting to get some intelligent feedback. Instead, they get
knee-jerks [1] and people complaining about grammar.[2]
Now I think I'll _really_ get back to coding...

than we like to think of ourselves...
[1] New word, meaning 'a person who uses spinal reflexes to post on a
mailing list'
[2] aka, 'grammar nazi'. But it's too early in this discussion to
invoke Godwin's Law ;)
