I don't believe I need to justify myself any further for why I didn't
leave a comment on any certain day. I left my comments when I believed
it was most appropriate for me to intervene (as someone who isn't really
affected in any way by the changes, except for generally maintaining
what's in net/dsa/, and wanting to keep a clean framework structure).
Also, to repeat myself, blaming me for leaving comments, but doing so
late, is not really fair. I could have not responded at all, and I
wouldn't be having this unpleasant discussion. It begs the question
whether you're willing to be held accountable in the same way for the
dates on which you respond on RFC patches.

I think you should continue to try your best to be kind and collaborative,
you weren't provoked or intentionally ignored in any way, and it isn't
doing these patches any good.
