just turn off your internet already if you can't ignore people.

So turning off your internet is an appropriate response, but making your projects closed source isn't?
How the hell did you reach that conclusion from what I wrote in the context of this thread? I'm honestly curious.
I don't like having people call me rude things on the internet. One way I can mitigate this is by not making my code OSS, which leads some small percentage of assholes to send really nasty messages when the code doesn't do what they want.

The context for this thread is whether this is an acceptable reason for keeping source closed. It seems from context that you don't believe this is an acceptable reason. You also say that if I can't ignore people that I should turn off my internet, which makes me think that you believe this is an acceptable response.

Thus, I believe that you believe that turning off the internet is a reasonable response and closing my source isn't.

I can understand where you're coming from.

My comment was meant to be hyperbole since I think if you're unable to ignore people online you should really just turn off your internet because it's really easy to ignore people online. I did not mean that you must make your code open source. I don't really care either way about that.
