And yes, I could try to fix these myself. I used to work on everything

the community are so unforgiving and negative if you make a mistake

gave up doing that.
(and yes, I know if it is something you're not familiar with a patch
can be posted to the list, but unfortunately lots of times patches
(especially for areas that are less mainstream) the response on posted
patches is nil).

I am very sorry you have found this to be the case. This is a problem the project needs to address if we wish to grow and thrive.

My google-fu is weak this morning and I can't find the link to an old LMKL post where Linus explains why sometimes it's important to very flame very bad ideas. But I would swear that part of it also did explain that not every single bad idea needs to receive the nuclear treatment.
