if i feel that i've been ignored, and it makes me upset and frustrated
i have every right to say so, and whilst i know that you are trying to
help you are unfortunately at risk from telling me that my feelings
are invalid, which is a line that i trust you understand is completely
and utterly inappropriate that you cannot cross.

bottom line is that you're giving a perfectly reasonable justification
for Mark's lack of empathy.

[sadly this is extremely common in Technical discussions]

i know exactly what Mark's doing: he's only superficially skim-reading
reading (citing the Java case without even acknowledging that i'd
raised it already - twice), wants to take control of the conversation and
wants it shut down as quickly as possible (telling me to "go contact the
Rust Foundation directly").

i'd very much like to see Mark read - and follow - this
