If you alienate everyone who is excited to contribute, you make sure there is one person in the whole world keeping it alive :)

I don't think it's so rationally motivated. The conversation was so fundamentally illogical I must conclude it was purely emotional.

You're not "everyone", you're just someone who didn't read the contribution guidelines in the readme and still feels like complaining about it to this day.
