> is the rust community such a vile place that if anyone knows of any sliver of wrong doing they immediately pull out the verbal version of a 155mm howitzer with an autoloader and go bananas at everyone and anyone ?

The Rust community partially overlaps with the Twitter community, and Twitter 100% is toxic enough to do exactly as you say. Twitter's community also has an annoying habit of inserting itself into drama that has nothing to do with it, and offering uninformed and inflammatory opinions. If Twitter didn't exist, then we probably would not have this problem.

Fortunately, the Chief Twit (as he has occasionally called himself) seems to be doing everything in his power to destroy Twitter, so this problem may go away in the future.
