From El Reg:
Lennart Poettering, creator of the systemd system management software for Linux, says the open-source world is "quite a sick place to be in."
He also said the Linux development community is "awful" – and he pins the blame for that on Linux supremo Linus Torvalds.
"A fish rots from the head down," Poettering said in a post to his Google+ feed on Sunday.

I think that very few open source participants act in that manner. I've been to hundreds of presentations and conferences in person, and watched thousands of videos, and I've only ever seen a small number of people act that way:
1. Rubyists
2. "Social Justice Warriors"
3. Poettering
The rest of the people in the open source community are generally good, decent people. At least the others who are borderline cases manage to just keep their outbursts confined to mailing lists. In real life, they don't act out like Poettering did.

I wasn't implying that a majority act this way. Rather, I was implying that the person complaining about poor behaviour is one of the ones that help perpetuate the hostile open-source member stereotype.
