Actively hostile? Lol.
Actually somebody involved with Mame threw their toys out of the pram when I didn't help them with technical info. There were at least a couple of occasions where I either didn't know the answer or didn't have time to write up a detailed explanation, yet both were treated as being difficult.
Mame devs weren't the worst offenders. There was a nutter trying to write a Gauntlet emulator who was convinced I was sitting on a fully-working emulation and sent me a stream of abuse for not helping them. Mad as a box of frogs.
