Wow, what a horrible attitude. He isn't claiming to be Mother Teresa, he just wants people who are benefiting from his work to not treat him like shit. It's not a big ask.

I have no doubt the author would be very receptive to constructive feedback. But it's hard to listen politely when someone sends a snotty email like that, and belies their own ignorance with questions like "what is a global override anyway???" (Hint: ask that nicely first, because then your other questions might become obvious).

I'm sure author has no shortage of constructive feedback to benefit from. This? This is trash. And that he's turned it into fodder for his own amusement and others, is just one more gift to us all, that yes, he happened to also derive his own pleasure from.
