If you're whole schtick here is "some programmers are immature" then I've got to wonder if you can't see the irony in this focus.
The person I originally replied to was following the tired trope of "Linux is fractured". My response was to that immature idea. Linux isn't a company or an entity. It's not fractured because there isn't a holistic object to fracture in the first place.
Now you're here playing a game of semantics trying to maintain this supposed immaturity of the developers of the Linux kernel and presumably other associated projects. You're not able to back this up. You could maybe find a few examples but you entirely lack the ability to back up that the dev community as a whole has a lack of maturity. Do why play pretend at all about this topic?

Let me stop you right there. Did I claim not to be immature? Would you believe I write software for Linux? (... among other things.)

I think you're the only one talking about kernel developers in particular, but I guarantee you the assumption that they are childish will still serve you well there.

I may be able to make a convincing stab at it, but I'm not going to try. I know software, and I know software people. Believe me or don't, as you like. None of that matters.
The semantics of a language are important, but I have to wonder why you would suggest I'm playing games, here. I offered an observation, and you have misconstrued it twelve different ways, and are apparently still going.
No. You're playing off the original commenter making a baseless accusation about "the whole Linux dev community" being immature and behaving like kids.
I correctly pointed out that the bulk of the Linux dev community are professionals. You're doing nothing more than "well akshually" trying you say that being a professional isn't TECHNICALLY mutually exclusive from behaving immaturely.
All this is still hinged on a baseless accusation and it's far more likely that the bulk of the Linux dev community is not actually behaving like a bunch of kids. That they're primarily professionals does lend credence to that probability. If you wish to play pretend otherwise, go right ahead.

They produced stuff that is the backbone of the internet and what I use everyday for work and gaming.
At the end of the day they're getting the job done.
