yes, we all understand open source.

Look, it's common courtesy to bring up issues I have before I go and just
fork the code.  Forking a project can often cause lots of bad blood and
problems.  I do appreciate what all the devs have put together, I just
think that things can be handled a bit differently to improve the end-user
experience.  I never said what the developers have done isn't worthwhile,
but I do take issue with the way the project is being managed.  I offered
to help improve that situation numerous times, and the devs seem to have
decided it isn't help they're interested in, and that's their choice.  But
personally, I know I would be upset if someone forked a project I started
without at least raising the issues they had for doing so.
