Almost all the free software is written by teams of humans who try to
be nice to each other.  People who do it at the expense of human
interaction are exceedingly rare, and that is as it should be, and by
and large they are exceedingly ineffective because the human element
is an obviously big part.

The first dictionary definition for inhuman is:

1. lacking qualities of sympathy, pity, warmth, compassion, or the like;
   cruel; brutal: an inhuman master.


Michael's posting was inhuman, because he had a choice to talk directly
to Marcus.
