A rare few can be confrontational, and maybe even a bit cantankerous, while
still exhibiting an attitude of servility......a rare few indeed.
...ummmm, servility is a *bad* thing, d00d. Maybe you have that confused with
'civility', in which case, point taken.
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=servility
1. Abjectly submissive; slavish.
2.
1. Of or suitable to a slave or servant.
2. Of or relating to servitude or forced labor.The idea of doing something for the good of others / everyone, not just yourself. ie you are serving them. Christ is a good example, he stood up against what was wrong, but not for personal gain. He is sometimes refered to as the servent king. In this way servility fits all open source developers, just not in a forced labour kind of way :)
