Yes, I understand that you would prefer to work on fixing this bug, 
disregarding other bugs in this package.

Due to the entanglements of this bug with another bug I however find it 
unreasonable to work on this one in isolation.  Hence my conclusion that 
your work in isolation is of no use a.k.a. useless.

I shall respect your wish to not care about other bugs, but that means I 
cannot explain to you how things are entangled - because that is not 
possible without bringing your attention to that other bug.

Duly noted.

For the record, your decribed requirement does not reflect my position 
on the matter.

I have more to say to contributors in general, but frankly your attitude 
does not positively excite me for continued dialogue with you in 
particular.

For the record this conversation began in a Matrix chatroom like this:

>> How should I proceed? Send a debdiff to the BTS, or just "do and

I continue to welcome questions but please change the tone or I might 
loose interest.

I am unable to parse the above as anything but a pile of insults and 
wrong assumptions.

But let me try anyway...

Yes, I am not disabled.

Yes, I already provided feedback on the questions at hand - maybe not 
the feedback you hoped for, but feedback nonetheless.

Yes, you asked me to judge your work so that is what I did - again maybe 
not how you hoped for, but...

No, you are mistaken that I have ignored this package for several years.
