Oh come on, that was one incident and he did fix the main issue. For a dude who does this in his spare time, he deserves a lot of credit.

I'm not talking about the security incident. Anyone can have bad days, I am not the one to hold the grudge.
What I've experienced is that Kovid is consistently hostile to anyone who disagrees with him in the slightest. There is no attempt to shine light on the argument or defuse the situation whatsoever - it always ends with comments like "what do you want from me? you get this project for free! if you don't like it nobody is forcing you to use it! get off my lawn!!!".
Of course, the guy has the right to talk to anyone any way he wants.
But I also have the right to publicly call him out on that.
I think he works full-time on his open source projects, but regardless I wouldn't fault him for that silly incident at all.
