So you submitted a patch to the "fork", but you didn't submit it to the real project. Interesting. I suppose you have some justification for that?
Regarding your recommendation that I should become obsequious. I'm sure you're thinking of some expression like "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar." I should point out to you how you yourself came on with a critical, negative approach and yet were apparently surprised to meet resistance. It's my ML, I can post whatever I want (any idiot could see that). But anyway, enough about you. Consider the possibility that I'm simply not interested in catching flies. So I employ neither honey nor vinegar. Think of it like talking to a mirror. You'd be surprised how nice I am if you could just look beyond your prejudice.
