In that case, I guess forking the project to fix it whilst criticising them is disallowed?

Can I ask you to send me $100 and then criticise you when you don’t? Or is that an unreasonable criticism since why on earth should you send me any money?

It is the opposite, the submitter sends a patch aka $100 and then the maintainer rejects the money/patch.

That’s not unreasonable, if I used your work or wanted a change.

But it's the other way around - why would you pay someone who was also using your work for free?

What’s your point? If you have a popular project and you won’t accept a valid patch, a bit of polite criticism isn’t going to hurt you.
Happened with the OpenOffice.org project. Caused the fork.
