I think you will notice that that attitude tends to appear once a thread 
has reached 50 comments...  It is generally intended to be a "stfu" 
rather than a "stfu unless you can submit a patch".  This will be the 
75th post in the thread and I don't think a new point has been made 
since about post three.
