I am pretty sure you don't actually want the fix, or you would have submitted a fix yourself. A four-line fix of a couple text strings... Instead you started a flame war on the mailing lists. Are you telling me you genuinely thought that was the best way to get results? > I find it amusing that I'm trying to make things easier for people who are > confused by (part of) the AUR website, while you're trying to convince me > that I've got mental health problems and need to seek counselling. It > looks like that Asperger's comment really hit the spot. I think I was officially diagnosed with mild Asperger's... I'm pretty sure though that I posted a patch [1] instead of arguing. Is it possible your analysis of the situation is wrong? > As mentioned in my last email: "Also, I don't know why creating a ticket on > the Bugtracker should be a complementary requirement.

Because a bugtracker ticket is a formal request for a resolution, and you are guaranteed to get at least enough attention to merit either an "OK" or a "NO", from someone who is actually responsible for taking care of the AUR website And because any-random-TU can't just edit the website willy-nilly, there is an actual project with a maintainer. Anyone can contribute. :) > Firstly, that's quite a long sentence for someone who seems to idolise the > dictionary.

Since it appears your primary goal here was to pick a fight, I'd think you'd be thrilled at the opportunity to bicker over the dictionary, you ingrate.
