I may be one of the volunteers Mark is referring to. In the end it's a very long term problem that exists with a lot of open source projects and I don't see a solution to it. When you have people who are determined to treat others with contempt and hostility as a matter of course, who reject even the most well-meaning offers of help with the most pressing issues, who almost seem to make a science out of deliberate, studied unpleasantness, something strange is going on. More than annoying, it's weird. I've never once in my life encountered anything like this. It's completely unnecessary, completely self-destructive, and appears to gain nothing for anyone.
