Re: Appreciating developers



Alas, basic communicative skills and elementary knowledge of
motivational psychology are simply not part of some people's mental
toolkit. 

They are however required necessities when building a community-like
environment such as Debian.

To me, there is sadly little surprising about tech-heads who think
anyone without knowledge of O_EXCL to be a total dweep.

The path to knowlegde in this case is first and foremost to know how
to deal with such petty attacks on your mental state. As well you know
I'm sure, they might very easily effect your sense of
achievement. 

I hope you have or will find an alternative, more positive
strategy. We have enough talk already. People working on debian's core
we can ill afford to alienate.
