I'm sorry to see this developer go but F/LOSS has never been a place of pink bunnies jumping around happily while playing with purple butterflies; you have to grow a thick skin (or rather thick leather) to be an active member of it, but even that it isn't as near as bad place as Sharp pretends it is. Maybe she's not aware how difficult life is everywhere.
I'm not saying that it is okay to be jerk - nobody like pricks for sure - but rather that there are a lot of jerks in the community from which we can learn a lot so: deal with that, you can get offense and continue living in ignorance or learn how these people work and fetch the best out of them.
Rather than being an unpleasing 'politically correct' place I suspect that the Kernel community is driven like a martial arts dojo - AND IT'S GREAT IT'S MANAGED THAT WAY because it's the only way to level up instead down leaving close to zero space for bullshit and stupidity.
