But you do reject them if they are not so willing. We don't reject them, but we may reject their contributions. We have certain rules for contributing. If people do not follow these rules, we cannot accept their contributions. Is that the only fact that your insulting words refer to? Most free software projects have rules about contributing. But it is only in our case that you twist these facts and present them as if they were nasty. We do not "ostracize" or reject people for their beliefs if they wish to contribute and will follow our rules for doing so. But we may ostracize people for persistent hostility and trying to put us unjustly in the wrong.
