Of course. I'm not happy about many things, but that doesn't give me the right to harass somebody.

They are not being harassed, but are being shown in this way that their intentions and behavior are more than just shit

Pointing out something politely is very different from jumping on a bandwagon and spamming an issue, or creating meme issues and meme pull requests. We should be better than that.

Is that really what we want? Anything slightly popular making a misstep to be hounded by an online mob?

This is not a misstep. They just don't want to hire developers for Winamp and rather try to outsource the work to others for no cost. And then they call it copyleft while forbidding anyone to do anything else with the source code except sending them pull requests. That's disrespectful, rude and simply shameless. This is fully calculated, not a misstep. If it was just a misstep, then I would agree with you about these meme pull requests and so on. Saying this, I absolutely understand why the receive such "feedback".
