Wishing to express ones true opinion and the necessity to temper it due to circumstance don't always go hand in hand. The lead Dev shouldn't be calling people jerks? on the forum. His position is to lead by example, hence he should maintain a certain decorum, no matter how tempting it may be to do otherwise, on occasion. To put it simply, if one cannot control oneself on the community forum, what type of impression does it give as to how well placed they are to control the community and the project as a whole? Not a good one.
