There is no excuse in work or any aspect of life to be an arsehole. Bad behaviour needs to be called out and not tolerated. That may be a dictator of a politican who invades another country or a dictator in a FOSS project. In my personal work life I have seen that behaviour break so many good workers, myself included, and the perpretators get not only protected but promoted. I commend all the developers of DT who commit their time freely for the benefit of users like me and there is no excuse for the tone in which they were abused and belittled. I was shocked to read the github post where this occurred and I am sure there were many more instances. Let the dictator work on his own project by himself where he has no one to abuse except maybe the users who give feedback. DT development is a team of great people who do not deserve abuse.
