My personal opinion:

I think Collin is so nice to people that he is being targeted. If someone said I'm not capable of maintaining software and wanted to keep me out of my own repo, I will happily ask them to go fuck themselves.

I have opened the source code, I slap a reasonable license on it. If you don't like me or the code, just fork it. I'm not paid to bear with your accusing and insulting. And yes, it is insulting considering someone dedicated his time and effort on the code that he is not being paid for. No matter good or bad, nobody should ever negate such effort.

Second thought:

I'm not saying being nice is a bad thing. One of my goals is to be nice to others. However, I can't say countless, but I do see several people being too nice to people and eventually hurting themselves, some of them are my friends.

I'm glad that I can be aggressive when I need to.
