What is inexcusable? Announcing that you're no longer able to maintain open source software that you've created? Telling your Internet friends you've been fired? Letting people know something of the hurt you feel that the work you've focused on has come to an end for you? What's inexcusable exactly? I've known people who couldn't have been happier with their termination. It's the end of a relationship. In our industry, quit whether someone is fired or whether they quit is about as meaningful as who dumped who first. I believe our compatriot is taking his dismissal pretty hard, but it doesn't make sense to me. I don't believe he has to take it that hard. I want to see him rebound. I want to see him fork and carry on. Getting fired is something that happens to a person. It's part of that person's story. They get to tell their story. He is part of the community. His circumstance effects the community. He gets to talk about it. He is allowed to tell people that this circumstance makes him sad. It makes me sad. I don't understand your vindictiveness. It's really off putting. Reads like a craven display of deference to authority to me. -- Alan Gutierrez - @bigeasy -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
