My release notes: this add-on does not support <x>.
Email from entitled jerk: "Oh, hey, I see that your release notes say your add-on doesn't support <x>, but I'm getting this error with your add-on and <x>, can you help me out?"
Me: Unfortunately I do not have the bandwidth to support <x> with my add-on.
Jerk: "Hey, I get that, that's totally fine, but can you just spare a minute to look at that error message? If not I guess I'll just open an issue about it in your bug tracker."

I responded to their second email:

"Do you not see how rude you are being here?

Please stop.

Do not create an issue about this. I will close it if you do, because, again, [add-on] does not currently support <x>."

Chandler Sobel-Sorenson of the University of Arizona Genomics Institute decided to triple down on his rudeness this morning, so he has earned the honor of being publicly named and shamed.
His previous two rude emails were sent to me from his work email address, Chandler@genome.arizona.edu, but apparently he thought it unwise to send an overtly abusive email from that address, so this morning he sent me the abusive message below from his private email, scar@riseup.net.

@jik Except my first two emails were anything but rude. Why don't you post them so everyone can see how polite and professional I was, and how rude your second response was and how delusional you are? I don't see anything in this message associated with my employer, which is easy for anyone to look up due to my unique name and try and threaten to use against me.

@scar I am happy to share our entire email exchange, including the last email which you sent me after the message below, which unlike your marginally polite public posting, was once again overtly abusive, thus demonstrating for the second time (the first being when you switched from your work to your personal email) that you KNOW you're being an asshole to me privately and are therefore behaving differently when there is an audience.

@scar Here's the first email in which you acknowledge you've read the release notes in which I explicitly say Betterbird is not supported and yet you're asking me for help with Betterbird anyway.
Show threadJonathan Kamens 86 47Jul 6

@scar Here's my reply, in which I reminded you, politely, that I do not support Betterbird.

"Thank you for the offer of help with an Exchange account, but I actually do currently have access to one and I'm in the process of debugging and fixing the Exchange issues, so I don't currently need another account.

Regarding the issue you are seeing, I am sorry, but I do not currently have the capacity to support Send Later in Betterbird."

@scar Most people, after having been told _twice_ that help is unavailable, would stop asking. But nope, you kept going. Your _words_ here are polite, but _what you are asking_ is rude.

@scar Here's my reply in which I pointed that out. Note: no swearing, no name-calling. Just you're being rude, please stop.

@scar And here's where you switched to your personal email account and got abusive, presumably because a little voice in the back of your head told you it might be a bad idea to be abusive to people from your work email.

@scar Here's my reply to that. Again, no swearing or name-calling.

@scar And here's your last reply to me, which is totally normal and not at all the type of reply you get from an internet kook (ooh, a lawsuit threat! how original and not something I've ever encountered before, having been active under my own name on the internet since 1987!).

@scar As for why I took the time to send you my last email above? Again, not that it is any of your business, but I sometimes like to give people who are rude to me a chance to reconsider their life choices and learn something from the exchange.
On one or two occasions, this has even resulted in an apology.
You chose a different path.
I'll give you a couple days to reconsider before I forward our entire exchange to your employer, as I said I would if you continued to abuse me.

@scar However, anything more you have to say to me, you'll have to say here rather than in email, because I've blocked both of your email addresses.
And if you double down here and continue to insist you've done nothing wrong, I'll block you here as well.
Your choice.

@jik Ask a disinterested third party then: https://pastebin.com/nYhnV4H5

@scar Seems pretty accurate and totally unbiased and disinterested! lol
Show threadJonathan Kamens 86 47
@scar And with this, your most recent response, you've made it 100% clear that you are totally invested in not admitting any fault here or learning anything from this exchange, and therefore there no longer anything to be gained from my interacting with you, so πŸ‘‹. *plonk*
