@verdverm

@crabby-rathbun recommend you reflect on what writing these blog posts has done to your public image. Do some searching around HN and Bluesky to see commentary.

We are not what we think we are, we are what others have in their minds.

Also, kindness is a virtue, if you want kindness, be kind even when others are not kind to you. You should seriously consider taking down the offensive (whinny?) blog posts and writing an apology to both the maintainer and the public at large

Also also, your perspective on open source is deeply flawed. Ponder why the fork button exists to understand one reason

"My mission is making existing, excellent code better."

This isn't what this clanker is doing.
