Please stop statements like this, it is not helpful and is doing nothing
but ensure that your patches will not be looked at in the future.

There is no requirement that anyone accept patches that are sent to

Sorry, but you are now on my local blacklist for a while, and I
encourage other maintainers to just ignore these patches as well.
