It's especially funny since I'm almost certain someone called Tracy Anne 
should be referred to as "her" :P

Realistically, the open source communities can be convincingly hostile 
to themselves and to the outside communities; however you could 
subsitute "open source" with "car racing", "animal loving" and find the 
same thing.

Human nature, I guess. Those who don't contribute a thing stay well 
under the radar whilst those who make suggestions tend to be noticed. 
It's much easier to take pot shots at someone that's visible than at the 
thousands (millions?) who aren't :P
