It is github, you had a fork, so anyone who wanted your feature in those 2 years could use your fork. And of course you got your feature and could easily merge upstream work as needed.

So what's the problem, aside from somebody you don't know not appreciating you? That person still gave you a great help (the rest of the project), and github prevented the difference of opinion from slowing you down more than a smidge.

That's very true. I appreciate your comment because it shows the situation in another light completely. You're quite right, and logically this is also what I should think, however it just, I don't know, feels bad. Irrationally, it feels shitty. We're still humans and I guess that influences us a lot.
