Felipe,

someone can contribute positively, and also be very destructive.

Your positive contributions, nobody will deny.

However, you have to tame the other part to be good company.

I have had patches and contributions rejected in the past, sometimes rudely. Same has happened to many others, if you contribute long enough, it is pretty much guaranteed that it will happen to you. Maintainer is wrong, or you are wrong, or someone is just having a bad day.

But these are NOT good reasons to make a big scene. It is reasonable to be upset, it is reasonable to think that Junio is wrong or unfair; walk away, take some time off, cool down your own mind, give others time to cool down as well.

cheers,
