So you're saying that the fact that there's basically a civil war and
pandemic going on is no excuse to respond to e-mails. And you're calling
his behavior "tyrannous" when there are literal tyrants shooting tear gas
at civilians.

I gotta admit, this makes me disinclined to believe you're acting in good
faith. Sometimes shit happens to good people, and someone who can't show a
little compassion in these (pardon the cliche) unprecedented times is not
someone I want anywhere involved in package management.
