I had that. It was unpleasant (to say the least) but on a different situation I rejected a direction. User went elsewhere and we all ended up losing.
I disagree with the attitude expressed there. Don't like it. Build your own. Every maintainer has his style, I don't think that's a constructive style and as a maintainer I never use that style. I might disagree with someone, I will never say fuck off. Even if I think someone should fork, I will offer help with the fork, at least in advice.
Writing the code isn't where it ends. I thank every user who uses my code. Otherwise it's just another code dump. The users are what makes the work worthwhile. To me.
