What is considered rude is entirely subjective. For instance, I feel bringing up something after being told why it wouldn't work and wasting people's time is rude.

Perhaps you would have phrased it differently. But I don't buy the idea that every interaction should be sugar coated.

I don’t think there’s a need to sugarcoat every interaction, but at the same time, we’re but living beings, who all have our share of frustrations and bad days. It takes little to speak or write something a bit softer.

A GitHub issue is not equivalent to a direct message to the developer. Other people can see GitHub issues/feature requests, and sometimes, one of them steps up and does the legwork of fixing/implementing the thing.

Me neither, Kovid has every right to communicate whatever way he wants to, and nobody can take that right away from him.

Just as I have the right to consider him a rude [insert generic insult].
