Nice to see the maintainer stop being so stubborn. I wish I could say this left a good taste in my mouth as a strong proponent of Rust. Especially after dtolnay banned me on the repo after I commented on the PR. Can't even give thumbs up on someone else's comment let alone open an issue or a PR. Interesting to see how glorified janitorial roles make people think they have some real power. Just take a look at https://github.com/andreisilviudragnea/serde-blocked/discussions/1 https://github.com/andreisilviudragnea/serde-blocked/discuss... David went on a full on power trip rampage, going as far as banning people who participated with emojis on that PR from the serde org on GitHub.

I did not know you can block people on github. The blocked people can't even fork?

Yeah... I'm going to go ahead and assume there's a little more to it that you're telling us.

even if it's a 'glorified janitorial role', you ain't paying him for it, so I don't really understand your objection to him not wanting to deal with your feedback on it (especially if it's just participating in a dogpile and not actually a useful contribution).

> Interesting to see how glorified janitorial roles make people think they have some real power. Not hard to imagine why he would have blocked you or the possibility you're not telling the whole story. This combination of entitlement and disregard is thoroughly toxic. dtolnay has built an incredible amount of the Rust ecosystem. For anyone unfamiliar, just take a look here: https://crates.io/users/dtolnay?sort=recent-downloads https://crates.io/users/dtolnay?sort=recent-downloads Some of his crates are a bit opinionated, and I don't agree with all the opinions, but the amount of effort and ingenuity that has gone into them is breath-taking, and we get the results of it without paying a dime. Maybe that deserves some gratitude and grace...
