@objectinspace See this is my problem, specifically with the people who scold us and tell us not to be assholes. Don't they think we've already tried that? And also it's mind-numbingly obvious that none of them have ever submitted anything to any repository or bug tracker or even just an email address, and as much as I'd like to keep that in mind the blazing ignorance coupled with the staggering level of confidence in their rightness just cancels any goodwill I might be tempted to show them. I'm out of patience.

@ppatel Yeah I'm totally down for doing everything you can to give someone who actually wants to fix their shit a fair chance/opportunity to fix it. I'm not convinced many want to actually fix it though.

@tristan @matt OK since they're going to pull that shit, let's have some fun.

@tristan @objectinspace @matt Why should you actually fix it when the four freedoms can become the four responsibilities for a statistically insignificant subset of your users? And by "subset of users" I mean the users who will actually speak up about accessibility of FLOSS, which isn't that many.

@tristan @matt What significant others? Nobody's sticking around for "Sorry you didn't experience a satisfactory orgasm honey just gonna label this wontfix".

@tristan @objectinspace @matt Yeah which makes your group smaller, and also, isn't how any of this is supposed to work. They're basically telling people "You have to be hackers in order to even have a shot at fixing things that are mission critical, and that's not even a promise that we're actually going to accept the fix".

@sarajw @matt @objectinspace @tristan Seconding what James is saying here.
