You will find many examples of me apologising and changing on Homebrew’s issue tracker, they just tend to not be the cases that people decide to bring up here. It’s unsurprising to me that 16 years of working on Homebrew most days has a bunch of suboptimal communication in that time. I am not perfect but also never claimed to be.

Attacking my communication here doesn’t help you. I got involved in this thread after seeing someone saying they regret sharing this (interesting) project from your reaction and feeling the same way after your reaction to something I’ve shared. Feel free to ignore me as is your right.

Ignoring the specifics, your first paragraph applies to me. You simply decided to assume it doesn’t and stoke a fire which, as far as I was concerned, was already out.

Please don’t do that. It’s not the first time I see it. You come in, say what you want, then leave and say “you can ignore it”. So can you! You could’ve ignored it. I guarantee you that the overwhelming majority of times you do that, you’ll just make the other person mad and the situation worse. If you want to do better, and I believe you do, those backhanded dismissals need to stop.

I did not reread the whole thread before replying and should have done that at which point I would have seen your apology. I apologise for not doing that. Good on you for apologising. I will ignore more in future.
