But he is a bad person. He's being a fucking idiot and being insulting to the person who made the software for him in the first place.
People like that don't deserve patience and understanding. Perhaps a good response would be "this software is free for you to use, if you don't like it then fuck off and make your own".
Everyone without exception has had moments of weakness where they lashed out at something or someone wrongfully. That's a bad deed but that can't be the definition of a bad person.
Especially in this context. The dude isn't really attacking the dev directly. He actually might just be venting. I wouldn't do that like that but you really can't assume anything from such a short exchange.
Exactly. Although you should still not be rude to the Devs if they don't deserve it.
