You appear to think that because I disagree with you I must be uninformed. 
I've looked at the issues involved and reached a different conclusion, as have
the other WebKit reviewers.

You're conflating the recent filing of bugs (designed to get small patches
landed) with your previous attempt to file bugs about things that would remain
to be implemented if your original mega-patch were landed.  The former is quite
reasonable. The latter simply doesn't make sense when the patch is so far from
being landed.

What I would like you to do is quite simple:  stop wasting our time.  You can
do this by being more reasonable and respectful in your approach to dealing
with the WebKit community.  You can do this by simply going away.

To be quite blunt: I am sick of your incoherent ranting and your self-centered
world view.  Even in the rare occasions that you stick to the technical issues
it is barely possible to follow what you're saying.  Not because what you're
saying is so brilliant that I cannot follow, but because it reads like it was
written by a child with an ego the size of a small country.  You ramble and
repeat yourself.  You demand special treatment.  You throw veiled insults at
the people you're supposedly trying to work with.  You try and pass opinion off
as fact.

The reason that no one responds in detail to comments that you make is because
it's simply not possible to respond in a sensible way to something that doesn't
make sense.  People have suggested many times that you be more concise and
stick to the technical issues.  Unless you do that I'm afraid you're not going
to make much in the way of progress.

"Stop abusing the patch review process" is a technical issue.

The process isn't perfect, but you're the only one that has had such huge
problems with it.  I'm certain that this says more of you than it does the
process.


[ This is a lot more personal than I had originally intended but, frankly, I
don't see how else to address the fact that the person is the problem. ]
