It was a general comment. Sorry for being unclear. I'm very bothered by hearing this exact thing a lot lately.
It's something I'm racking my brains over, how some people can tell certain things and intentions apart and others cannot - and how that set is different for everyone, and how this "flaw" is currently causing a lot of trouble because we, collectively, are not very well practiced in detecting this kind of thing.
I don't think the internet is dead just yet, because I don't think anybody truly has the concrete intention to destroy all knowledge.
I'm generally an optimistic person and very trusting of others. I'd say I'm also a pretty good reader of intentions / listener based on people who are my friends / worked with me (anecdotal of course, take it how you will).
However, some of the comments in the GitHub issue... I can only assume the worst of intentions to ruin any/all motivation of the maintainer. Given we've seen social engineering and other attacks on other open source projects with increasing frequency, I can only assume that there are ulterior motives in such comments.
I cannot otherwise see how those comments would be constructive towards the maintainer or the other participants in the issue.
