[ros-dev] Grievous and unwarranted mistreatment by a senior operator of the IRC channel

Okay, seriously I don't want to sound rude, but here is what I think. Please remember this is just an opinion.

Coming into an IRC channel and telling us that we need to completely rethink our project is the height of stupidity and thoughtlessness. And, on top of that, you suggest these changes but seem to have no concept of what would actually be possible and what would not be possible for an Operating System to perform. And, in addition, you didn't offer to help at all, you simply started telling us that our project would be crap if we didn't do what you wanted us to.

I don't mind good, constructive suggestions, but a 2-3 hour argument which serves no purpose whatsoever just seems to be a little bit too much. Also, I would hardly call what you received "mistreatment". In my opinion, you should have been kicked/banned from the channel long before you were. Not for making a suggestion, but for trolling the channel and flaming those who didn't agree.

I suggest you read this:

Again, this is just my opinion, but I believe that most of the people that were on the channel at that time would agree.
