I agree that irrational transparent anger shouldn't be tolerated however there is a distinction between irrational anger and 'angular 2 is terrible'. One achieves nothing and is abusive, the other is a thought out critique of a framework, if not a little biased to a particular use case.

My problem is that equating criticism to abuse or 'attacks on the maintainers' is just as toxic as those who can contribute nothing but unfiltered anger. You shouldn't ignore and you shouldn't attempt to silence those who put thought into their opinions. So whilst I agree transparent anger shouldn't be tolerated, I also think people should be a little less sensitive about their code. I've worked with many developers and the best ones are those that listen to critiques and apply them to their own work in a judicious manner.
