I agree with most of this on a personal level. On the other hand, since your community owes nobody anything, including even publishing how they want to differentiate insiders vs outsiders, then it is absurd to be annoyed by all the overtures that you’re refusing to say that you don’t want.
To put it in simpler terms.. here is a person who wants everyone to fuck off, but refuses to even explain that’s what he wants? How are we supposed to know? If no one is entitled to an explanation, then don’t be surprised if everyone is confused.
To an extent I agree with you: that’s why I pulled all my code off GitHub. The website is (was?) called “social coding,” so I realized the conflict in putting stuff on there and then saying “don’t bother me, but this stuff is here if you want it.” I don’t think it’s wrong to post on GitHub and say “leave me alone,” but I just don’t see how it benefits me personally.
