I am hardly "stalking" you. I am addressing bad ideas and poor
maintainer behavior, that it happens to be yours is immaterial to me.
Besides, you effectively demanded that I participate more broadly[1], so
do kindly pick one sort of libel and stick to it. As contradicting
yourself not only weakens your argument (were it to have a basis to
begin with), it makes malicious intent more obvious.
As for ad hominem attacks, do kindly present examples, I would be most
interested in any which you can demonstrate are unjustified. When I ask
if/how/why your behavior is acceptable for someone in your roles, I am
seriously asking that question. I want to know the rationale, especially
under what are, at least nominally, the rules governing the interactions
and behaviors which I am inquiring about. Though I will forego linking
to that, as that evidently annoys you.
