The response to my feedback on DBIx:::Simple was quite negative, reaching even beyond Perlmonks. Many people felt the need to contact mst about my behavior instead of saying something to me directly.

There was a complete misunderstanding of one point of my post. In no way, was I asking Juerd to implement something. I was asking him to add something. If you had read the linked thread, you would see 2 implementations there, one by me and one by Juerd. The issue was adding it.
