But a very offensive one.

The funny thing is, your started insulting on your very first e-mail,
so I don't think your argument is valid.

You are a very deluded individual if you think your usage of a "comma"
is your only problem. Heck, I am not a native English speaker but even
I can tell you aren't either.

Again, you have severe text comprehension issues. What Ethan said is
that it was possible , since English is not your native language, that
you made those offensive remarks without actually intending to do so.
He gave you the benefit of doubt.

Pidgin has never "struggled" to integrate any options as far as I
know. Just because *you* think Pidgin is supposed to have feature X,
it doesn't mean that the rest of the community agrees. It is also
possible that the absence of feature X didn't bother anyone else.

Wasting time? If the developers decide not to work for Pidgin for a
whole month and go to the beach instead, are they "wasting time"? They
are not. Nobody is paying anyone to work on Pidgin, so by definition,
time cannot be wasted.

Others who? Please raise your hand, gentleman.

You are not defending yourself, you are attacking others. Can you at
least admit you are wrong? Please show some humility.

By the way, I am *not* a Pidgin developer, but a libpurple user.
