I’ll try to say this as respectfully and as kindly as possible. I’m genuinely trying to be helpful.
Seeing these kinds of stories and interacting with the type of
people who have them brings to mind an old saying:
“If everyone you meet is an asshole, you’re the asshole”
Note that I’m not saying that’s the case here or insulting you, that’s just the saying.
This story is filled with what seems like (at best) “personality conflicts” and your very dim view of essentially everyone involved in it with the exception of yourself.
It even ends with you essentially calling yourself Superman.
I’m not sure what the point of this is (vent? warning?) but it doesn’t read like a sympathetic and even remotely balanced telling of events, that’s for sure.
It may be worth reflecting on what you may have contributed to this if your goal is reducing the chance of repeats.
It reads like OP has been holding a grudge for a decade or so, and today decided to shit on a project he contributed way back in the past out of sheer entitlement.
I'm not sure if that's the case, but that what's coming across. Small-minded pettiness.
It depends on whether you have any experience with F/OSS communities. If you don't , then 25 years is irrelevant, so yeah compressing it into 1 paragraph makes it seem petty.
Does any of this make sense to you? Nobody who looks in the changes file has any idea the last three releases involved CVE issues. Not only are they purposefully obscured, the release itself contains undocumented bogus parser changes that were papered over during candidate voting.
