It's a repeat complaint from the same person who admits bringing it up before. The way they framed their complaint is, again, snide.

> That’s a long way beyond exasperation, that’s a massive overreaction.

Your reaction to Francis is _the_ overreaction. Francis simply said to OP to put their money where their mouth is. The "slander" comment comes later as a general statement on why this subject has become annoying.

Stop being hung up on Francis' response. The niche feature was discussed at length multiple times. You're welcome to search the web for all the conversations we had on the subject. Caddy has been around for 11 years. We've seen this subject more than you've seen it brought up. Again, OP referenced the discussion on the issue tracker in one of the earlier times they brought it up. They _admit_ it's niche. What's the point of continuously bringing it up?

This is what you’re referring to, right?

> > I think it's unfair to say that I post this every time when I've only mentioned it twice before, with the previous time being 2 years ago.

> Last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39474419 and you also said "I have only brought this up once before on HN and it was over 2 years ago." in that same thread.

Okay, so the last time was 18 months ago not two years. But do you really think that mentioning it three times in 3.5 years can fairly be described as a grudge?

> Stop being hung up on Francis' response.

This is the only thing that matters to me in this thread. The bug itself is not that interesting. It’s a big deal to me that your team seems to take even the mildest mention of a bug as some kind of harassment. I’ve seen that kind of attitude before, and it’s dangerous.

Yes calling it a grudge is kneejerk, but no I won't apologize for it because of how intensely frustrating the prior discussions (and today's, no help to you) were to deal with (take today's, multiply it by two for the intensity, then multiply it by ten for the amount of times it happened). You aren't me, you don't know what I've experienced and you don't know all the details, so please stop making assumptions.
