"The reason I objected is that when people take a gift and are immediately critical that the gift was not larger, it discourages the giving of gifts. If we want more whistleblowers, we must make sure their experience of whistleblowing is a positive one. If all they hear is, "Y U NO GIVE MOAR", that is not a positive experience. I think it's particularly important here because this instant entitlement is a perennial problem for open source project maintainers."

So basically you have a bunch of reasons why you're upset about this but none have even a remote relationship to the topic at hand? Because you feel open source software maintainers have a certain problem, by logical extension we must be facing the exact same thing in this totally different situation.



That you cannot see the relationship is not proof of no relationship, especially given your repeated struggles understanding my posts. And even if there were no relationship, my fondness for whistleblowers would have been enough to motivate the comment.
