True, you should of let him come forth and ask is
it useable and then move to next problem.
If he determent accessibility to be to much of a
nag. He just might mention it on the apple dev
list and then accessibility will be a missed
thought. Give a good experience about
accessibility and he might show others a real need in using it.

reason to write him further at tis time.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Hi Michael,
No offense, but I think the response you got was justified from the
developer's perspective. Its obvious from his response that he feels
you were e-mailing him too much over the accessibility topic, he felt
pressured and hounded, and instead of looking at it as suggestions he
saw it as spam. As a developer myself I do know where he is coming
from as there are certain members of this community who simply do not
know how to ask for something without being rude about it, or by
trying to pressure the developer by e-mailing him/her over and over
again until they are sick of it.
Seriously. Before you say the developer has a bad attitude why don't
you consider your own actions here and see how and why they might have
contributed to the developer's attitude?
I haven't seen your own post or posts to the developer so I can't give
you specifics, but I can tell you some general things that tick
developers off. Did you sound pushy, winy, or demanding when you wrote
your post? Did you send him one message or did you constantly send him
e-mails over and over again until he simply got fed up with reading
them? Did you discuss it privately, or did you write him in a public
forum for all to see?
My point being here is that there are a number of ways you can
irritate a developer without intending to just by being pushy,
demanding, writing your suggestions over a public forum instead of
privately, or just sending several messages on the same subject day
after day. If he wants to do something he'll do it, but if you
irritate the developer its likely he'll just blow you and your
suggestions off as an annoyance.

Hey, All.
I wrote Mario a email sharing him some suggestions about the game.
And he wrote a bad response to me.
So I will not support his bad atitude about accessibility for blind and
low vision people.
Here is the message he sent me.
Hi Michael,
at first it was nice. Then it was constructive. Now it is spam.
Stop spamming me, will you?
Treat this message as a nice way to ask for:
- stop emailing me with accessibility issues that contain unwanted
advertisments
- stop using the game forum for these things
You can advertise your accessibility forum wherever you want, but not
on cost of my work.
Herzliche Grüße
Kind regards
