JFC. When will open source projects like @rustlang learn that putting toxic people like this in positions of ANY authority is unacceptable. https://github.com/marshallpierce/rust-base64/issues/213 . He's showing you who he is, and you're not listening.

I'm confused. What makes you think they have been put in a position of authority? Anyone can simply create a fork, or a separate project completely, and go a different direction. You're not obligated to use any third party crate.

I do agree that they handled that interaction pretty poorly, though.
