Yes. But you clearly don't. Open source means that anyone can contribute and can fix bugs. So if you're seeing a bug and not either 1) paying someone to fix it for you or 2) doing it yourself, you can climb down off that high horse. Open source means putting up or shutting up and you're not currently contributing so I guess that narrows your options. Your abusive, atagonistic attitude will get you exactly nowhere. So you may say goodbye glassfish but i'm sure the rest of the community will have no problems saying "goodbye, troll." I'm sorry things aren't working out for you like they are the countless other working systems. I'm sure there's some quantum/metaphysical anomaly in your server and you're certainly not to blame for *that* but your attitude is entirely unacceptable. So good luck with whatever you choose. I'm sure we won't miss you here.
