I guess it's funny in retrospect. I sell my own software and have to deal with these "confidently incorrect" people all too often. Seems like they are either mentally ill or have some kind of sociopathic personality. I'm thinking about quitting the game because of it.
I guess the "smart" thing to do would be to pay someone to deal with these people, but I really don't want to subject anyone else to the abuse. Not to mention that having another person on the payroll shifts the calculus of whether or not it is even worth it.
I thought I'd get used to it. But, after 10 years, it still makes my fight or flight response kick in. Every time.
At least I get paid to take the abuse. I can't imagine having to deal with it for an open source project. I guess it explains why so many open source project maintainers seem so testy.
Thanks for letting me air my grievances. I feel a little better :)
