I am a lurker here and get a ton of good information and helpful tips from this mailing list. However, I regularly notice that Alexander is rude and often replies towards people in a condescending or hostile manner. It isn't just here either as I see it on StackOverflow on occasion. It's not a good look when I can read a reply and guess who it is based off the tone of the reply.
Geb is an awesome framework that not many know about in my experience. I try to share it with whomever I can as a test automation solution here in America. While the documentation is very good and well worth a complete read-through, people shouldn't have to be afraid to come and ask questions only to get called out or receive rude replies. Isn't the point of this mailing list a place to ask questions and receive updates regarding the framework? So he might have asked a few basic questions that may or may not be in the documentation, so what? Many of us here were QA first and automation developers second. Not all of us are full-stack developers and we learn enough to get us by. Let's please be a welcome community and offer help to those who ask. We want people to use this framework. I want people to use this framework. People aren't going to want to use it if they learn that asking questions might get them yelled at.
