There have been several complaints about your behavior since you returned[1,2,3,4], in addition to the times I and others have simply left threads because they did not feel that arguing with you was productive (a thing that several people, myself included, told you in the past that they would do).

I have not paid all that close attention to this remote-hg contrib argument. Maybe you are 100% right and Junio is wrong and lying and cannot back up his decision, but somehow needs to cover it up through rhetoric. But that does not at all match my past experiences with Junio's behavior. And given my past experiences with you, and your behavior in response to the discussion, I find it likely that either mis-communication or your stubbornness is a likely factor. And also given those experiences, I've avoided wading into the thread myself or spending too much time thinking about it.

I can understand that it hurts to be called a troll. I really do believe you are trying your best to improve git. But I hope you also understand that in terms of the time and emotional drains on other participants, from our perspective interacting with you is quite similar to interacting with a troll.

Your continued arguing on this topic does not seem like it is going anywhere, and I believe is wasting time and hurting the atmosphere of the list. Please stop. You have had many chances to interact with people on the list[5], and now you are seeing the consequences of your behaviors: people have little tolerance for you and will stop paying attention.

[5] Even though you were previously asked to leave, I believe people
    on the list gave interacting with you a fair shot in the past month
    or two. And we somehow still ended up at the same place.  That's
    just my perception, of course. I'd invite anybody watching to form
    their own opinions.
