Maybe I can explain this comment without getting downvoted again.
Many people contribute to open source projects for years without complaining about rudeness. Successful leaders like DHH and Linus even come across as rude themselves. I imagine that people that aren't bothered by rudeness have an easier time collaborating than those who are.
My perception is that people downvoted you because your comment was a mean spirited shot which contributed absolutely nothing to the discussion, not because they disagreed with you.
How was I whining? I just made an observation about the amount of downvotes, I thought the change in the voting system was interesting. Not whining but it looks like I've burned about 40 points here.
