I had a similar thing happen. The CTO of a company was using a library I wrote, and he ran into things he wanted to change. When I disagreed, I was accused of sabotaging my own library, by refusing to fix it's obviously broken aspects. Guy went on a smear campaign on hn, Reddit, Twitter, Wikipedia. Literally made me miserable for weeks.

I wrote about it, more here if you're curious:

Here is the list of closed issues/PRs said CTO made in case anyone was curious: https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/issues?q=author%3Akeredso...


If you don't mind the feedback, I get the point of your post but you came out pretty aggressive very often. "This is horrible", "wtf is this", "this is awful" are not useful.
