This is hilarious.

I did this because I hate freedom.

What has Freedom got to do with this? Not arguing with you, I just don't understand where your comment is coming from.

It's a sarcastic joke. Check out this site maintained by the commenter http://blog.izs.me/

Well, because we're apparently contribution-hostile. https://twitter.com/ericflo/status/107963620159266816

(I'm isaacs, node core dev and author of the url parsing module, and closer of the bug in the OP.)

Not "apparently". A guy showed up wanting to contribute, and based on the response he got, he perceived a "foot-stomp and 'you shall not pass'."

It doesn't matter whether you think you're contribution-hostile, it matters whether the guy who tried to contribute thought you came off as hostile, which he clearly did.

It even started off poorly.

Getting a 'why?' and an immediate close certainly would give me a poor first impression, as a developer sending a patch for something I thought was an actual bug.
