If you were the greatest programmer on earth and you spent 24 hours a day sharing that knowledge online, that does not excuse you for informing on another to their employer and attacking their livelihood just because you didn't like what they were doing or writing online or how much time they spent doing it.
There is indeed reason to consider contribution. There was talk of making Naomi MVP and removing MVP from Andy and Marcia. MVP has only to do with technical merit.
How is this any different from a person on an assembly line blowing the whistle on a co-worker that takes too-long breaks? If the break-taker prods a whistle blower, the whistle blower will be more likely to react.
However, all I'm saying is MVP should not be the issue here. Do unto others as they have done.
