Really great read!

I was wrong. People are people and they come with their flaws and ideas, biases and prejudices.

Yes, it's sad. I love OSS since I installed my first Linux distribution in '98.

I can relate to the horror stories you mentioned. I've tried to contribute to some Linux distributions (not important pointing out which one), and I left after few days in the mailing list. I just can't tolerate elitism and unfounded insults. Some things are more rotten than it looks from outside, sadly.
