Don't have a cow, man, it's nothing personal.

What does open source have to do with the reason your site was down?

I think that impugning the professionalism of someone's work because their project's home page was down once is pretty darned personal.

I know nothing of anybody behind it, how could my intent possibly be personal?
That argument doesn't hold water. I don't know you, but if I say "From the looks of your page many9s.com , I'd say you're an amateur with no design sense", then I'm personally attacking you.
Right, because you're making it personal. How is it that you go from a simple webpage to a person's skills? I certainly didn't do that.
