I don't get that either. Also look at https://github.com/yue/help. The author is basically saying "I'm a really cool developer, was there, did that, anything else?". Every single sentence consists of narcissism (or how should I call that?). This is only how I see that, I'm sorry if I offended somebody.

The author is not a native speaker so might not be aware of how some sentences come across.

I'm not a native speaker either, but having a quite high exposure to English language, I am still puzzled at why would anyone think those sentences were hostile. Can any native speaker translate what I quoted to a non-hostile version, so we can see what's it all about?

Polite translation:

> The issues page of this repo is disabled. To report a bug, please create a pull request with a test case of your problem.

> For support, please go to the yue/help repo for help from the community. Paid plans are also available if you want to receive support from the project maintainers.

I wouldn't say the original is exactly impolite, but it's definitely more curt and direct than usual or than you would expect in the business world. Especially the text on the yue/help repo comes across as slightly combative or defensive in different areas. For example "You can ask any question about Yue in the Issues page here, but please do not expect to get an answer" sounds fairly dismissive to a native ear.

Thanks. I got (and agree) that it was not written very skillfully, but, as you said, it was not hostile either.

To me it seemed like he was showing that he was capable of doing a fine job with Yue in which you can trust.

I totally get that, maybe it's just a question of subjective perception. What he's done is still a large piece of job.
