Yes you've made that abundantly clear that you find website work boring and beneath you. As I've tried to make clear to you, people here who do that sort of work on your behalf or provide you with the tools to make that work less boring for you will often find your attitude insulting and degrading and yes unfun. Others won't mind in the least. Such is life. >If I had not the committer status, would you have asked me to do it myself too? Of course I would.

But if it means being bashed like that (thinking it would be >a good thing to report a problem), then no way. You've taken the fun out of it. I haven't attacked you not a single time; I'm not bashing you either. I have challenged you to increase your level of contribution to this project to match the expectations of the other participants and committers on this mailing list. Having said no there's no penalty to pay- nobody's going to strip your karma for not trying. The worst thing that will likely happen to you are the usual social consequences of not meeting the expectations of many of your peers, which may not bother you either. Different strokes for different folks- there is no need for further drama here.
