Yes - he is even inventing a "force a maintainer to do things against
their better judgement" that does not exist.  Who's to say that in
cases where the developer's point is not one Anthony agrees with, he
will still see such non-existing "attacks"?

It is impossible for an open wishlist item to "force a maintainer to
do things against their better judgement". The maintainer is fully
within his rights to ignore the wishlist item. He can act as hist
better judgement instructs him to whether or not the wishlist item is
open. Anthony was not in any way being attacked.

I'm not saying that, no.  It would be silly.  A single developer
overstepping fair conduct while carrying out his job does neither a
conspiracy nor a cabal make.
