So "frustrated" is a dirty word for you? How about "a conceited moron"?
Bastien might be an incompetent maintainer or programmer (in any case,
you seem to be the first to make such claims), but he's certainly more
than willing to deal with it. You've shown more than once here that
you're rather incompetent as a contributor and a person[1].

I find it quite surprising that people on this list, including Bastien,
are even willing to reply to the dirt you're spitting up.
