I disagree. The open source process works not by making favors to each

although it might happen often.

So shunning any attempt at explanation, and peddling your own thoughts
over and over again, irrespective of whether you contribute code or
not -- doesn't mean to say you're right, Felipe.  And that's the
fundamental issue here -- your code speaks for itself, sure, no one
denies that, but the code is not even *half* of what makes up the
discussion.  And so far, the surrounding context and attitude from you
doesn't help or enhance the process under which your code is reviewed.
 And no, you cannot philosophise this, or wriggle out of it through
idealism or some other "charter" or "code of conduct" -- as reviewers
of your code, we have to interact with you to be able to better it.
But you seem very reluctant to do that.

The fact that we're even having the conversation is evident of that.
