It is very difficult to communicate with Kovid when you're not a user and you've not previously praised his genius. Any kind of criticism or suggestion that isn't wrapped up in the "but your project is awesome and you're awesome!!!" wrapping-paper is met with hostility, insults and banning.
It is a problem for anyone trying to communicate with him.
Criticism or suggestion seems fine. Insulting is not. The one example I saw were someone was effectively making your claim was someone insulting him and him responding without any hostility, insults, or banning.

citation needed. You can't just make serious claims without any supporting evidence.
I'm not making serious claims, I'm sharing my experience when dealing with Kovid.
If you don't count personal experience as relevant, that's fine, but I really don't feel like digging up a bunch of github links from years ago.
