Erm, OK. I don't think that's even close to what I did, but I guess people can read for themselves.

Again, this was not the only interaction I had with you folks, and even if you accepted my patch instantly and didn't roll it back or anything else at all (Also, once again: completely fine; I understand why you did it and don't fault you for doing it), the fact remains that there were lots of missing features that I needed, and working with you was slower than doing it myself.

Maybe that has changed, but I have to be honest: being defensive and prickly is not making me want to do it. You're actually pretty much illustrating the primary reason why I stopped.

You called them out for being slow; turns out they weren't. You called them out for un-merging your work; turns out they didn't.

Now you keep saying you had other bad interactions, but you haven't even said what they were. I have a feeling that if you named them, shortly later I'd read a comment about how it wasn't true. Again.

If the library didn't match your needs, that's fine. Who cares? That's happened to all of us many times, right?

I said they were slower than me. I didn't "call anyone out" for un-merging my PR -- I explicitly did the opposite. I could care less.

More than anything, I said I recalled that the reception was chilly. This thread has reminded me of why I had that opinion.

Sure. And we're allowed to talk about it.
