Not so. You are relevant in the sense that you need to communicate why
people should take patches from you.

I know people who just put you in their kill-files because they can't
bother with the endless argumentative flames you generate. At which
point all the code you produce is kind of irrelevant, because people
won't see it.

Seriously, felipe. You pissed off Junio, who is *hard* to annoy. Just
learn from your mistakes, instead of repeating them over and over.

It's not just code. You need to also explain *why* people should apply
it, and stop the f*cking idiotic arguing every time somebody comments
about your patches.

Because it literally seems to be *EVERY* single time.
