To be clear, the real issue people are having with you here isn't your proposal. It's the fact that you submitted it to the bug tracker, the maintainer saw it, thought about it, and rejected it, but you couldn't let it go at that. You instead drew out a forum thread to the point it got closed, then decided to continue here. That is not the behavior of someone who wants discussion or to contribute, it's the behavior of someone trying to cause trouble. It comes across as petty and whiny. Please remember this for future interactions.
I think you're re-framing the timeline here, possibly showing that your view of events was influenced by your view of me "trying to cause trouble". I was told the forum is a separate entity which devs don't read, hence it was pointless discussing this there. I've already said why I sent to list after the bug report was closed. I don't think I have been disrespectful to anyone in this entire exchange, and have answered or responded to points raised during the discussion. I made one tangential post in response to what seems to be people's fears of posting. But, point taken: I shall remember these events for future interactions. J
