A hypocrisy.

When user fills the bug, developer is supposed to fix it. That is obvious and of course true.

But interesting things start showing in details.
If user piss developer off, it is ok. If developer throws something back - it is bad.
If user does not answer, it is ok. If developer keeps silence - he is a bastard.
If user fills bug, it is ok. If developer asks user for some help - developer is a fucking monster.

Yes, there are real jerks in development community as long as in users, and getting simple numbers: user community is much bigger than development one, so number of crappy people scales as well. And nevertheless, people like to blame developers and pray to users. This comes down to absurd, when developer asks for help, and then he is blamed for not devoting time to solving a problem.

People like to look at others. I like to look at others too of course. And we frequently like to forget that we behave exactly like those who we blame to be jerks. Exactly like them. We just forgot that, or do not pay attention, or do not want to think about, since when things come to us, this becomes a hypocrisy.

Thats way we don't need windows users on Linux.

Let they pay to Microsoft for their windows and have payed support there.

Actually Linux needs more developers from Windows platform than users. That way propaganda have to be directed to this point.

May be we have to show developers how simple development on Linux if compare with Windows.
