Do you expect gratitude from releases?

A weird topic to talk about, but there's a lot of developers/scripters who feel gratitude needs to be expressed in their threads; that there needs to be a reply. This is especially shown in V3rmillion posts where the poster goes "Don't be a leech!" at the bottom even though it's open-sourced and released to everyone knowingly all while labeling anyone who doesn't express gratitude in their reply or even criticisms about their script as leeches.

Example:

(This is from an actual V3rm post summarized)

OP: Here's my script link

Replier 1: This script has a memory leak

OP: Dude, you only replied because you encountered an error in my script. Stop leeching.

Of course, "stealing" scripts is entirely different where it's using that script (usually just pasted) in another without proper credit. But that's still weird to classify since apparently this only applies to open-sourced scripts to a lot of people, but obfuscated scripts/loadstrings (even open-sourced links) just get a pass for some reason.

Just thought this would be an interesting topic to talk about. What are your thoughts?
