Reading comments in this group is becoming very stressing. I guess someone
will simply reply "then don't read the list", but I'm interested in
NHibernate, and this is the no. 1 place to follow/share discussions about
it.

It seems that main committers or contributors or so get offended by people
questions in some way and feel that people don't appreciate that they work
freely under no obligation except their own passion, which is entirely
incorrect, we all appreciate everyone who contributes to this and understand
it's a volunteer work.

One other side of course is how some people are criticized often for their
project decisions. This is basically good, but many of the 1 line comments
of type "why are you doing this at all?", "you're doing it wrong", etc...
are not helpful at all. You can feel how many users got frustrated and
embarrassed because of some of these comments.

You see how this very specific thread got so many ugly comments. That even
some of the users started to ask everybody to calm down and stop these. And
not only in this thread, it's all over the group.
