While the behavior from "FrugalGuy" is immature and childish, a better way for the mitmproxy maintainer would be to post a polite but firm response, one that leaves no room for error or drama such as this one:

> As per the mitmproxy license, the software is provided as-is without warranty, and project maintainers are currently constrained by other priorities and deliverables.

> As such, statements on the Github issue tracker are not considered as sufficient justification for the prioritization of issues. The only way to prioritize issues would be to enter a support contract, available [here], the terms of which we will be happy to discuss further.

This doesn't seem substantially different from what they actually said, except a bit more rude (maybe that is the intention?) so I'm not sure what this gives you that the actual response doesn't.

I found the response polite and firm…

Nope, that is as crazy as the original guy. You are not owed politeness in response to your tone deaf request.

I agree you're not owed politeness in this situation, but it prevents the ensuing drama after such things have been said, which is very draining for the people on the receiving end of said drama.
