I really do feel harassed by their comments, it's not just because I
disagree, it's that I feel they have been following me around in
several of my contributions repeating the same issues, I have heard
their criticism and I do disagree but I don't feel like bringing it up
over and over and over following me around is a great thing to do at
all!

I did not try to go and yell all around after for example 'guix pull'
was broken after some changes to substitutes handling that were pushed
for example. I just trust people to do the best. I know people want the
best for GNU Guix. I also want the best for GNU Guix. I am not trying
to somehow deliberately break GNU Guix.

I try to listen, and I think I have listened to criticism from many
different people. I think we've reached a point where I could not
listen anymore from Zimoun because I felt we were going in circles.
There's different opinions from different places it seems, where some
people agree with my way of doing and some others do not, and I felt
like I had more approval from other people and that while Zimoun's
criticism has been heard I have not acted upon all of their criticism.
Is it possible to do that?

I do not dismiss other's opinion as not important, I disagree, what do
you want me to do? We have different way of doing things, if I do them 
I do them my way, if they do them they do it their way, what else can
we do here?

I don't feel like that's entirely fair but I always strive to self-
improve.
