I'm part of the open source community as whole, which naturally includes
all kinds of people world wide (a fact you cannot do anything about).

Let's put it this way: Start a new idealistic community with a punch of
young people who "get the job done". Eventually these young people get old
and don't get the job done.. Do you ditch them because of that or take
care of them anyway like a human being?

Oh yeah well, this is the way modern world works, open source "community"
not being any better (in some cases) - where Microsoft discriminates poor
people, open source people discriminate the ones without programming skills.
