Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Custom 'void' or self-closing elements (HTML parser changes) (#624)

Hi @thomas-darling, as a fellow commenter and person also disappointed by the position taken here I just wanted to encourage you to apologize for writing to the project maintainers the way you just did.

The work these people do is difficult and involves trading off a great many factors for an audience of billions. As (I assume) you don't employ anyone else here, you don't have the right to demand work or outcomes from them. If you did work with these people, I hope you'd have the good manners never to speak to your colleagues that way.

Further, this kind of attitude is simply self-defeating. Nobody wants to help a jerk, and treating maintainers this way will only predispose them against your positions.

If you want someone to change their mind, you should try convincing them instead of telling them they're wrong. (One way to convince someone is to have many people politely offer a dissenting opinion, which is what I attempted.)
