“Worst API ever”

Please let this be an example of how not to give feedback to an open source project, should give a lot of credit to the maintainers and other contributors for dealing with that respectfully and productively.

This guy is being a dick, yeah, but still it wasn't that hard to actually tell him where he can find what he is looking for - without any comments that he should read the code, open a pull request or anything.

So I did: https://github.com/gionkunz/chartist-js/issues/409#issuecomm...

The maturity, stubbornness, and cultural confidence of all discussion participants is quite refreshing. I wish I could learn to communicate across cultures this well and still get stuff done!

"doesn't matter in what manner was it spoken"

It's frustrating when people say this over and over. It certainly matters when the way it was spoken was antagonistic and rude. And I don't believe as this person states is an issue of cultural relativism, just a jerk wanting to be a jerk.

Well, nice functionality without good documentation is an absolute waste, so I can understand why this guy is getting wound up.

People who usually criticise in an open source project* are usually the people who are lazy to do this stuff themselves.
