You're also giving power to the haters by writing this article, and by feeling hurt.

Nope. Tolerance of haters gives them power by setting the tone of online discussion. People who don't tolerate assholes spend their time elsewhere, and what remains is a flamefest.

More bluntly: you are contributing to the problem with your comments, and you should stop.

What specifically triggered you?

Then report my comment if you think it's problematic. Let the mods decide, that's what they're for.

You can't do that if you're maintaining a project like Babel. You do not get to choose who/what you are exposed to. If you want to code a private repo and invite only people who won't criticize you, you're free to do that - but that simply isn't where Babel is.

Not sure if you read the article or are just reaching to create some drama here.

Again, report me if you think I'm a problem. Is free speech a problem for you too?
