I don't think anyone should be kicked just for voicing their own opinion.

How many times have we all said "omg X or Y is a bloated pos". How many
times have we personally insulted many other products, such as Windows,
Debian, Apache etc..?

Whenever I build a new project, the first thing I do is show it to other
developers which I trust, and ask for their honest opinion. They will quite
often say to me "Cal, if you write code like this again, I will slap you".
And it's this sort of advice which put me where I am today :)
