No, I don't.

I can praise my spouse but overlook their mistakes.
After four decades together, that seems to work pretty well.
I don't see that I need to treat the devs any different.

Like my spouse, and unlike most forum posters, the devs have brought a lot of fun into my life.
So like my spouse, I cut the devs some slack.

BTW, there's evidence that punishment may not be a good tool for training dogs. (https://arstechnica.com/science/2022...ining-to-heel/).
If those findings generalize to other mammals, abusing the devs here in the forums may not produce the results the abusers are hoping for.

[Edit: and may be a reason why the devs don't seem to pay any attention to the English forums.]
