alt Hacker News"As you have marked your project as Open Source, it's important to maintain a professional and respectful tone throughout the codebase."
The only proper response to this is: "No. It's not. Fuck you. Fuck your mother, and fuck the fucking horse you rode in on, may you eat shit for the rest of your days and choke on it."
I mean, who even comes up with notions like this? What law of universe is there that dictates what attitude I must have when marking my software as open source?

Oh! Looks like I still had my response to your bot open, so here was my raw, unfiltered, and (Oh no!) vulgar original thoughts, before I toned it down to comment here:

Cursing, and how the open source community represents itself, are - and I can not stress this enough - not a business-polite thing.

What you're doing is not helpful to the OSS community, it's helpful to your business partners that profit off open source, and given the trend in industry, do so typically without giving back. You want to do something meaningful? Drop a recurring sponsorship of my website so I can take more time to write guides and cool things using whatever language I choose to best convey my intent and feelings.
That project was https://github.com/VegaDeftwing/opinionatedguide in case you interested in fucking sponsoring me <3 I would really fucking appreciate it!

Hey @agustingroh it looks like you're the most frequent committer on SCANOSS repos, thought I'd nudge this to get some attention brought to it. Still awaiting an apology myself, though at this point needing to ask for it makes it rather moot personally, it would still be nice for everyone else SCANOSS spam'd.

How they decided that second one is "abuse" is beyond me, but as you can see, while a bit less vulgar, I was, indeed, pissed off.
