Maybe I can explain this comment without getting downvoted again.

Many people contribute to open source projects for years without complaining about rudeness. Successful leaders like DHH and Linus even come across as rude themselves. I imagine that people that aren't bothered by rudeness have an easier time collaborating than those who are.

Many people don't contribute to open source projects because rudeness discourages them from contributing.

I'd rather have more people contribute (and feel good for doing so).
