Good lord, this guy is completely unhinged. I'm tapping out. My one precious life is too short to spend arguing with internet tough-guys. (Remember when I said that I thought he wasn't acting with malice, but was merely making terrible naming decisions? I guess I was wrong.) https://github.com/xscreensaver/xscreensaver/issues/3#issuecomment-6304214106

@jwz@mastodon.social I vaguely recall such geniuses on Usenet. This shows, they are still alive.

@jwz@mastodon.social but you don't understand, Jamie, he's getting over *two hundred clones per week*. TWO HUNDRED. How can you say no to those kinds of numbers?!?

@jwz@mastodon.social I think my favorite part in that thread is how he copypastes your email exchange as if it's a gotcha, and it just makes him look like a four wheel drive dipshit. Unfortunately being a dipshit isn't enough to get him banned or the repo taken down, but I reported him anyway. Then blocked. I am constantly just gobsmacked by the levels of fucking idiots who feel entitled to your time and such.
