He's hardly an asshole if he's giving us a useful, free, open-source piece of software all by himself. If you don't like it, write your own.

Being an asshole doesn't have to be about what you're doing, it can be about how you're doing it. In fact, that's normally how I see it used -- referring to an abrasive person who's difficult to interact with.

(I'm not commenting on the specifics of Goyal at all; I don't know about their situation.)
