ToddAndMargo, I have watched you on these lists and on GitHub issues for years. I’ve engaged a few times but have generally pulled back again, always in reaction to the same pattern of behavior:

1. You ask a question about something.

2. It is explained in various ways until you say you get it (and offer sample code to show that you do, indeed, seem to get it).

3. You complain the docs do not describe it in a way that you (or anyone—you frequently invoke yourself as the avatar of the “ordinary programmer” as opposed  to, for example, the “IEEE member”.

4. You’re invited to fix the docs. You do not. (Here’s where I’ve engaged more than once: suggesting specific new text and asking if it would have clarified for you. You’ve either ignored it or simply replied that it would not without further constructive feedback.)

5. And then—a few months later, you bring the very same issue up in slightly different form.


And folks say that some of the things I write are offensive.
