That's presumptuous and foolish, and wrong the patch that resulted in MooseX::Types::DateTime::ButMaintained was originally submited more than 4 months before the fork -- the truth must hurt.

• MooseX::Types::DateTime didn't remove DateTimeX::Easy until version 0.05, on 24 Aug 2009. The original patch was submitted 25 Mar 2009 a full FOUR MONTHS earlier.
• MooseX::Types::DateTime::ButMaintained on the other hand was released 05 April 2009 without the dependency for DateTimeX::Easy (making Date::Manip a non-requirement). It now also uses M::I the build system of most MooseX modules, and it also outs the database into the external Olson::* dist which other DateTimeX::Format modules use.

And, I don't understand what you're getting at, this quote is certainly not passively aggressive.

When I want to contribute but I'm klinned from irc.perl.org, and #perl on irc.freenode.net you can just about expect me to fork.

That's like saying if (a) I need to write to my grandma, and (b) if I'm out of paper, then (c) you can just about expect me to call. It is certainly not aggressive. I'm making an argument from necessity - if you don't view access to the official mediums of communication as a necessity then argue that. But, stop trying to confuse the readers with propaganda.
