> Isn't that the exact opposite of being a great team player?

You're projecting as well which is visible by the example you give which has next-to-nothing in common with what's being discussed here.

You don't have to want to share governing of your personal idea project. You can be open to contributions that align with your goals BUT reject those that don't.

Both can be true at the same time and the latter does not make you a bad team player. It makes you a "if you want to help me build my shed in my back yard I'll welcome you but if you turn out to want to build a garage then I'll show you the door" person. Or in other words, it makes a fairly normal Homo Sapiens.




Speaking of taking things personal... which is visible by your patronizing tone.


There's no patronizing tone in this comment. It's a direct counter, and neutral in tone IMHO.

Welcome to HN.


And you didn't address what I said.
