Forum: Ruby on Rails Wiselinks issue

I tried to reach out, and I feel bitten by the response.

Am I being sensitive, or is my interpretation appropriate?

https://github.com/igor-alexandrov/wiselinks/issues/9

I thought it might help to collaborate on what features are useful etc, 
but
I feel like all my design decisions are being rejected, and that nothing 
I
have done would or could be good. The only good thing he had to say - 
"It
is very good that you tried to find all cases in which History.js (or 
maybe
browser history API) works not as it should work." seems to be implying 
-
"good try, but your solution sucks". And then it seems he just wants me 
to
spend time explaining what is wrong - but I don't want spend time to
understand it for 
him<https://www.google.com/search?q=%22I+can+explain+i... 
-
well, more so because I feel like my competence is being questioned.

Well I think if you want someone to make changes to their open source
project it's up to you to explain what changes you'd like or what 
doesn't
work (or better, a pull request!) rather than just referring to a 3 page
post. I don't think I'd read into his responses what you've read, but
that's easy to do, and I can see how some of your responses could come
across the wrong way too.

And sometimes different projects have differences of opinion on 
approach,
dependencies etc. That's OK!
