Definitely silly but im tired of trying to explain something especially when they act like that and I know they arent going to listen. They can simply get name called. People dont like that but its simply not my obligation.

So, in an argument between people doing the work and people insisting someone else do the work for them, but it must be to the specifications of the armchair quarterbacks… well… I’ve got bad news about the things the non-paying non-coders want.

Sounds like you dont actually want to work on FOSS software
" the day I start caring about what non-contributers think …"
Be sure not to wear your actual gate keeping opinion on Your sleeve if you want to deny them .

Not pretending anything. Saying they’re both acting silly. Eos.
