Wait, what? How did my apparently misunderstanding of what "it's looking like 
things could be on track to split the user and maintainer base in two" and me 
explaining why I don't think all new innovation should go into pipenv suddenly 
turn into "spread this kind of inaccurate picture".

This isn't about you, has absolutely NOTHING to do with you, don't make it 
about you. I am trying to contribute my thoughts back to the discussion which 
only is of peripherally concerned about pipenv, but is about the future of 
pip/package installation, and a comment that was made regarding pip becoming 
"legacy".

You made me feel incredibly unwelcome to pipenv, I will no longer actively 
attempt to contribute back to that community. I have gone out of my way to stay 
away from any PyPA projects because of the actions and behaviours you showed on 
the pipenv tracker, and have actively encouraged others to do the same and look 
at other open source projects instead. Let us be crystal clear here, the way 
you and Kenneth have shown your colours on the pipenv issue tracker is a real 
shame and is turning off many potential contributors and good feedback to help 
improve pipenv.

This post, right here, has re-iterated that view.

Don't contact me again.
