As someone who is not part of this project, you have no foundation to stand
on. I have seen nothing from Joey that can be taken like this. Seems like
someone has an agenda that they are trying to push. Either that, or this is
just pure FUD.

Again, Joey never said he wouldn't fix the bug. It just wasn't high priority.
The social contract never states we will fix all bugs the instance BEFORE they
are filed, because we CARE about our users that much.

Joey is on a modem. Again, he never insisted. More FUD.

No, he has demonstrated a complete and total UNWILLINGNESS to have ANYTHING to
do with you.

Do everyone a favor and never join.

You are not a maintainer. Do not start preaching to those who are, like you
are their saviour and god.
