Kurtis,

I agree with everything you said except this. IMHO, you've traded one bad extreme (where few people care about the quality of the codebase) for another (where the people who care about the codebase are rude and uncooperative). You can be hard-nosed about code standards without being a jerk.

Maybe you didn't mean it like that, but I feel like there are way too many people in open source communities who take an "I have to be an asshole" mantra to heart.
