I think you're still missing the point. I'm simply trying to defeat all of the goons who are arguing with me, because that puts me in the best stead to achieve my goal. My view is that it's absurd how hard you guys are trying to prevent me from pushing through this incredibly simple fix.
I am pretty sure you don't actually want the fix, or you would have submitted a fix yourself. A four-line fix of a couple text strings... Instead you started a flame war on the mailing lists. Are you telling me you genuinely thought that was the best way to get results?
I find it amusing that I'm trying to make things easier for people who are confused by (part of) the AUR website, while you're trying to convince me that I've got mental health problems and need to seek counselling. It looks like that Asperger's comment really hit the spot.
I think I was officially diagnosed with mild Asperger's... I'm pretty sure though that I posted a patch [1] instead of arguing. Is it possible your analysis of the situation is wrong?
As mentioned in my last email: "Also, I don't know why creating a ticket on the Bugtracker should be a complementary requirement. My view is that a TU should have made the necessary change immediately after reading my very first message."
Because a bugtracker ticket is a formal request for a resolution, and you are guaranteed to get at least enough attention to merit either an "OK" or a "NO", from someone who is actually responsible for taking care of the AUR website And because any-random-TU can't just edit the website willy-nilly, there is an actual project with a maintainer. Anyone can contribute. :)
Firstly, that's quite a long sentence for someone who seems to idolise the dictionary. Secondly, what you've written directly above provides no reason not to remove the ambiguity of "File Request". If they're searching for a file to download, seeing "Lodge a Request" or "Make a Request" would act as more of a deterrent than "File Request" does.
Since it appears your primary goal here was to pick a fight, I'd think you'd be thrilled at the opportunity to bicker over the dictionary, you ingrate. [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-dev/2015-November/003866.html -- Eli Schwartz
