Your patches add as many bugs and problems as they claim to solve.
You also attack, in your commit messages and code coments, the
very people you want to look at your changes and integrate them.
How you hope to make forward progress in these circumstances is
beyond me.
Just remember William: Whilst people have a right to say whatever
they want, they must earn the privilege to being listened to.
And currently many people have you set strictly to ignore.
