That I should do work? No of course not, but if the work you and your people needs my suggestion, I’ll sign off on it since it’s basically you’re money that drew all these people to my home, and I really don’t mind living with whatever small changes since ultimately, I got a shitton of money for a makeover. I’d be grateful.
Because without everyone else putting money and time in, no-one would even give two shits about my home.
I just feel like it’s shitty you basically bullshitted 9k from the community, showed nothing for it, and don’t really show any culpability.
As for the second bit, what I’m saying is that it’s incredibly arrogant to assume that when a large group of people disagree with you, that there is no possible way you could be wrong. That’s an attitude that’s pretty terrible to have when you tell people you’re a leader.
When you an open source project like this, and ask for the community to pitch in, popular vote is definitely the way to handle issues like this. You haven’t really given an argument against. My argument is that most people have a general idea of what they want, and you marketed a product for them, took money from them, based on the idea “If you give me money, I’ll give you what you want.”
Is it really that painful to just TRY what the majority wants? Like, I’m not even saying do it for every pull request, but when there seems to be a contentious issue that you disagree with, you should see WHY people want it.
