If I called a coworker a moron on a PR, I would be disciplined or fired. We have a zero tolerance for disrespect in our workplace, and I do not think that his status as a 'superstar programmer' should allow him the privilege to call people names. Even if he works for free, it is not ok to think of and treat others this way.

To his credit, I believe he has considerably mended his ways in recent years. When I came across the first hostile comment (and no, this was not "straight shooting, get to the point", this was going out of his way to make an ad hominem attack), I was wondering whether he'd regressed, until I saw the date.
