Are Linux gamers rude and nasty to developers?

Some Linux gamers can be a bit too passionate in their defense of Linux, and their reactions to developers can err on the side of rudeness. I believe that folks who engage in such behavior are not representative of the entire Linux gaming community at all. Most gamers seem to appreciate efforts being made to develop games for Linux, or even companies that haven’t made a decision but are considering the Linux gaming market.
