Apparently you expect me to join you in pretending that you didn't
lambast my review on this thread less than 24 hours ago [1]. I happen
to believe that this particular patch is of great strategic
importance, so I'll admit that I thought about it for a second. But
just a second -- I have more self-respect than that.

That's not the only reason, though. I also genuinely don't have the
foggiest notion what was behind what you said. In particular, this
part still makes zero sense to me:

"Claim that others are holding you back, and then try to move the
goalposts in their work"

Let me get this straight: "Moving the goalposts of their work" refers
to something *I* did to *you*, on *this* thread...right?

If anything, I'm biased in *favor* of this patch. The fact that you
seem to think that I was being obstructionist just doesn't make any
sense to me, at all. I really don't know where to go from there. I'm
not so much upset as baffled.
