I don't remember every interaction I had with you folks, but that wasn't the only one. Also, the same PR was reverted a bit later, IIRC -- I think I made a mistake in my PR or it wasn't compatible with some other use case, so that's fine, but the overall theme of the interactions (again, in my recollection) was that I was personally moving much faster than you, and using your library was hurting more than helping. So I stopped.

That happens all the time. Without it, you can't pass things around to functions that add to the chat, for example.

This may be your usual flow, but it doesn't have to be everybody's usual flow. No offense, but you're currently reminding me of what I interpreted as "chilly reactions" at the time.

Great! I did them myself in less time. It's entirely possible that your library, today, is the tool I needed then.

OK. Cool. If they want to use the software, I'm sure nothing I say will convince them otherwise.
> Thanks for litigating every layer of a bug I fixed 27 minutes after your comment, more than a year ago.
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?
