It's the fact that you submitted it to the bug tracker, the maintainer saw it, thought about it, and rejected it, but you couldn't let it go at that. You instead drew out a forum thread to the point it got closed, then decided to continue here. That is not the behavior of someone who wants discussion or to contribute, it's the behavior of someone trying to cause trouble. It comes across as petty and whiny. Please remember this for future interactions.
