I think you misunderstand the word flaming. I put my opinion across which is based on real solid technical reasons. I'm entitled to my opinion as you are yours, I did it in a polite way & you less so.

Pointing out that someone only made progress after reading how to do something in the MAME source isn't flaming, it's letting people know the truth.
There are certain people that mistake this and then see it as their purpose in life to make us look bad as a punishment. When they make enough of a nuisance of themselves, they'll probably get their chains yanked & a new wave of people will use that as their justification.
It's very easy to take one converstation out of context, for all you know the thread might have been the end of result of many discussions on the topic. If you want to be appalled as a bystander then feel free, but you don't necessarily know the whole story.

I guess that the image here sums up what I think of people acting like that.
As a professional developer, if someone at my company acted like that, it would get fired in a matter of hours, so I don't really understand why anyone, in their free time and when working on something for fun has to keep hearing that kind of crap. |
Sometimes people mistake knowing what you are talking about as arrogance, because from the outside it looks like the same thing. If someone asks your opinion and it appears that someone is wasting their time & you can back it up with evidence as to why, then that is a valid point & not arrogance.
What happened to Haze and his final blog post shouldn't make anyone happy. From the inside you see more in context and are able to make up your mind on what is really going on. People who then take potshots from the sidelines are only creating a problem out of something they never understood.
FWIW There are alot of real arrogant developers who manage to survive for years. It's often difficult to sack them for it.
