Says you. Hiding behind an alias at that. If you want to attack a real person in public, at least have the courage to use your real name to do it. And add a link to where he "brushed you off" without reasons so the rest of us can see for ourselves. Failing that, I am going with you wanted the project to do something, the maintainer didn't agree. That's his perogative doesn't make him hostile. He is not obligated to entertain your use cases. When you contribute to someone else's project you do so in the understanding that they get to decide whether to accept your contributions or not.

When a maintainer doesn’t want something that’s totally fine if he doesn’t be a cunt about it.
At this point, you are the one being the cunt.
Why because your belovered maintainer is hostile and you can cope?

There are tons of maintainers out there who have poor communication skills who don’t care if you submit a pull request fixing a bug, or raise an issue detailing a bug. They will shrug you off and make you feel like OSS is a waste of time.

Get over yourself and stop getting on your knees to suck him off like he’s some god.

You must be really hurting. Have a cookie.
