[fooey]

He's complaining about an open article written about Angular2, which he isn't even a contributor to. He's complaining about general community dislike about the direction Babel 6 took.

It's not like this was Linus trashing a contributor for writing shitty code in a pull request.

So far as I can see in the article, he's not complaining about a single instance of anyone actually criticising him directly.

No one really cares who worked on Babel 6, all they know is there was a change that disrupted their work flow. No one is being personally attacked when the users criticize a change.
