Believe me, I know well that it isn't possible to be both right and

that which appears to oppose the views to which we become attached.
IME all that is required are some nice and empathic words. I also
decline out-of-scope feature requests or ask people to rewrite their PRs
to fit a particular coding style but I can't remember a single harsh
word that resulted from that. But yes, it's quite demanding and
sometimes feels like a waste of time to deal with all the
issues/PRs/discussions and stuff.
I checked the git history and didn't see your name anywhere, so I
think we all have nothing to lose from your parting.
As I said, I abstained from it. I fixed a rescaling bug in the GUI of
the session manager in the fork. Nothing critical since this only
affects tiling window managers.
Get off of twitter, man, and get your head straight. This isn't some
insurance company representative who has to be nice to you no matter
what you say. This is the guy who spent decades of his life making you
gifts and giving them to you for free. And instead of gratitude,
instead of silent neutrality even, you repay his kindness by piling
onto him when you see him being abused. What a gentleman you must
think you are, what a shining example of how to behave agreeably.
I have a lot of gratitude to you. And I do understand you point (in
fact, I hold you in high regard for keeping it simple and to not
accepting the LV2 PR). I just wanted to point out your community might
be more diverse than you think and some might be put off by the way
communication is practiced here. I mean, common on, I asked you to
please not send personal attacks on public mailing list. As a response
you called me a coward, uncivilized, and suggest I'm just here for
trolling you. Please be/stay positive and don't let being the victim
become a way of life.
